Where Tobacco Meets Oud, Rum & Smoldering Woods
Le Labo TABAC 28 Eau de Parfum is a bold and atmospheric fragrance from the Le Labo City Exclusive Collection. Created as a fragrance representation of Miami, TABAC 28 captures a smoky, seductive and decadent character through an unusual combination of deeply aromatic tobacco, oud, woods, rum and green cardamom.
Rather than presenting tobacco as a sweet or traditionally pipe-like note, TABAC 28 gives it a darker and more sophisticated treatment. The rich tobacco absolute is paired with opulent oud and a striking cedarwood blend, creating a smooth, smoldering sensation reminiscent of something slowly burning.
A Dark, Warm and Intoxicating Scent
The fragrance opens with the distinctive richness of tobacco absolute, immediately creating a warm, smoky and aromatic impression. It has the depth of a fine Havana cigar, but the composition is far more refined and perfumery-focused than simply smelling like tobacco.
As it develops, oud and cedarwood bring a darker woody dimension. The woods give TABAC 28 its depth and structure, while the tobacco remains rich and prominent throughout the experience.
Gaiac wood and rum introduce an intoxicating warmth, giving the fragrance a smooth, slightly boozy character. Green cardamom adds a contrasting aromatic freshness that keeps the composition vibrant rather than excessively heavy.
The overall impression is smoky, woody, warm, sensual and slightly boozy — a distinctive niche fragrance for those who appreciate unconventional compositions with plenty of character.
