Reviews →Signature Tabac by Zaharoff offers a thick, sweet take on wet tobacco leaf that feels tailor-made for freezing winter nights. The scent centers around a heavy core of honey and tobacco, cut by a boozy wash of rum and cognac in the opening. It is best suited for casual evening wear when you want a rich, warming bubble.
