Tabak Kretek
Fragrance notes
Character
Tabak Kretek contains cloves, tobacco leaf, amber, cinnamon, incense, cardamom and sandalwood. The cloves and cinnamon give the blend a sharp, powdered heat. Tobacco leaf sits beside them with a dry, papery texture. Amber adds a golden, resinous weight that pulls the spices toward something rounded.
Cardamom brings a cool, green edge to the warm spices. Incense coils through the mix with a pale, grey smoke. Sandalwood offers a creamy wood foundation that keeps the sharper notes from feeling thin. The materials feel dense and slightly dusty.
This is a fragrance for quiet rooms and dim lighting. It suits evening wear and places where heavy air feels appropriate. The mood is contemplative and still. Someone who enjoys resinous smoke and powdered spice will find a home here.
The overall character is warm spicy, amber, tobacco, cinnamon, woody and smoky. The smoke is steady rather than aggressive. Sandalwood and amber carry the tobacco leaf through the final impression.
