The tobacco note in Fumerie Turque is awesome and together with the supporting notes was what sold it to me. As a non-smoker I should not like tobacco but this reminds me more of a cigar before it is smoked.
The first test on paper left me unimpressed (will I ever learn) and I only realised its full splendour after a skin test on a later occasion. I remember that day, spraying it on my arm then walking over to the bookstore to browse for a gift while giving the fragrance time to develop. I was unable to concentrate on any books as I was knocked over by the effect of this fragrance on me. This is simply one of the most beautiful fragrances ever created.

About Me
- Louis
- I own so many fragrances now (and my collection is growing by the month) that I decided to capture my thoughts on them. Since I was a kid I was fascinated by smells which affected my eating habits, living habits and personal relationships. My sense of smell played a big part while growing up and formed lasting impressions that still affect me today. To me a good or bad smell is not just something that I can ignore.
