“There are elements of different legendary movies like Indochine in the fragrance Chinese Tobacco. A reflection of East meets West taking place in the 30’s to 50’s colonial French Indochina. I’m often captured by these strong contrasts and different ambiances when travelling in Asia. The old and the new. A major influence for the scent was the powerful scene in the movie ”Apocalypse Now” featuring Aurore Clement and Martin Sheen smoking opium.” -Johan Bergelin

Exotic, hypnotic, and more than a little dangerous, Chinese Tobacco is not your typically buttoned-up European tobacco scent. Fiery red pepper and coriander ignite the senses, while incense and oud add unexpected subtlety and a gently narcotic haze. Spicy and woodsy, primal and modern, Chinese Tobacco is a gripping study of East meets West.

Here's what other people are saying about Chinese Tobacco...

This reminds me of growing up riding horses. It carries notes of well worn leather and a bit of the fly spray that we used to use for the horses, but in the most pleasant way. It's on the cleaner side of those memories, but it still holds a slightly animalic edge

A wonderful change of pace olfactory wise. The initial note was a sweet tobacco laced with a vanilla. As it dried down the lemon and ginger came out. Next a sweeter lemon, vetiver combined. It is unisex but not a heavy, overwhelming scent. It actually has clean smell and is light where you'd note it more when getting close to the one wearing it.

I love this scent. Sensual but personal, not in your face. It's perfect anywhere any time of year. It's the one I take with me on my travels. Bravo!!!

I love this scent. It's spicy, clean, fresh, dark and alluring. One of the few colognes that people around me really appreciate. I have gone through two samples now and it's time to bu 100mls.

I wear this one every day to work because it is deep and resinous enough to satisfy me without being overwhelming to other people. It also blends very well with other scents. Pretty perfect.

This is a nice scent yet I wanted a bit more of a that lovely SPICE to it. It smelled of a fruity coca cola which sounds awesome but it wasn't what I really hoped for! I am a fan of 19-69 and hope they will keep at it in the production of Eau De Parfumes. I would describe this as more of a Eau De Toillet though as the scent seemed to diminish as the day went on.
