Spiced vanilla and ambrette over tobacco
Tabac Doré ("golden tobacco"), created by Dmitry Bortnikoff and launched in 2021, is Bortnikoff's ode to the oriental night. It's built around a rare tobacco absolute whose 300+ natural components unfold into something layered and comforting, meeting a dark, potent blend of wild oud from Thailand and Vietnam, distilled in-house. Vanilla, resins, and precious balsams soften the union of smoke and wood into an enveloping, noble finish.
Scent CharacterOriental-vanilla with a tobacco-oud core: a musky, sweet ambrette-vanilla opening, a warm tobacco-cinnamon-fig heart, and a genuine Thai and Vietnamese oud base rounded out with cedar and sandalwood.
Fragrance PyramidTop: Vanilla Absolute, Ambrette (Musk Mallow) and Pink Pepper

Base: Agarwood (Oud), Cedar, Peru Balsam, Tolu Balsam, Labdanum and Sandalwood
