Bortnikoff Tabac Doré opens with dense tobacco leaf, dark vanilla absolute, and a hit of pink pepper. Wild Thai agarwood and Peru balsam create a heavy resinous base that stays close to the skin.

Wear it on cold winter evenings when you want a quiet, dark resinous bubble rather than a room-filling cloud.

Balcafe by Balint Parfums immediately sets a dark, comforting mood, opening with the dry sweetness of immortelle and a refreshing splash of Sicilian lemon.
