Tuscan tobacco was once called Herba catharinaria, after Caterina de' Medici. It has been grown and documented around Florence since the sixteenth century and reached the Medici court through botanical and trade networks.
The leather in Tabacco Toscano starts in the leaf. The tobacco is traditionally cured over wood smoke and the smoke carries into the scent. Bergamot and Tuscan tobacco leaf open it. Leather, amber and birchwood make the heart. Cedarwood, guaiac wood, sandalwood, musk and vanilla sit at the base. The house classes it warm, woody oriental.
On skin it follows the pyramid. Leaf and bergamot go first. Leather and birch arrive after them. What is left at the end is wood, musk and vanilla. The same scent runs through the liquid soap, bath gel, body cream, shaving foam, after shave lotion and wax tablets we carry.
It belongs to June, when it is dark by half past five and the fire is lit before dinner. The smoke in the leaf and the smoke in the room are the same idea.
