But WE DO LIKE Jasmine & Cigarette, don't we, so someone did they job well I suppose. What is it that compels us to embrace scents in our perfume hobby that we otherwise shun in daily life? That IS the question.

It's a strange combination that works. Personally I much prefer cigar and pipe tobacco over plain cigarette (this is probably why I never evolved into a smoker; these are not things one lights up by habit but for pleasure, at least IMHO) . As you so succinctly put it, a delight for the nose.

Now that it has been so long, I can also sometimes enjoy the smell again, even or maybe especially in ashtray scents like Jasmin et Cigarette. A nice tobacco and woods scent is more reminiscent of stuff I never smoked like pipes and cigars, always a delight for the nose.leathermountainnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-18930299857591019822015-08-02T19:30:23.593+01:002015-08-02T19:30:23.593+01:00He was a real dish and he continues to be a very h...He was a real dish and he continues to be a very handsome man. <br />I suppose he's responsible for both our love of tobacco scent to some degree, then! :-DPerfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-32653397587387625802015-08-02T16:24:38.258+01:002015-08-02T16:24:38.258+01:00I love tobacco in fragrances!
