Sample Sunday

Decided to try this one again since I really love the Tobacco Sapphire from Boadicea.

This one is not as nice as that, but has a smoky onset but drys down into something that is very soft and smooth, but you have to lean into to it over time to make sure its still there. I will have to work on spray count for this one to make sure I get what I need 😎

Here's ChatGPT's thoughts.

Tabacco Toscano – Santa Maria Novella

Fragrance Family: Tobacco / Woody / Leather

Gender: Unisex (leans masculine)

Style: Warm, leathery, sweet, smoky, old-world luxury

Type: Acqua di Colonia (SMN’s version of EDT strength but behaves like a soft EDP)

This is one of Santa Maria Novella’s flagship masculine scents, inspired by Tuscan cigar tobacco, leather workshops, and warm Florentine air.

⭐ Full Olfactory Profile – Pyramid Breakdown

Top Notes

Bergamot
Citrus peel
Light aromatic herbs

You get a quick, fresh opening — not sharp, but clean and bright enough to lift the rich tobacco beneath.

Heart Notes

Tobacco leaves (sweet, leafy, aromatic — not smoky)
Leather (old-school, refined, soft)
Vanilla (warm, sweet, balancing the tobacco)
Amber (adds golden warmth)

This is where the fragrance becomes unmistakably Italian tobacco — warm, rich, sweet-leathery, and incredibly elegant.

Base Notes

Dark woods
Soft smoke (like cigar smoke trailing off a leather chair — delicate, not heavy)
Animalic tone (very subtle — gives depth)
Powdery vanilla (creamy, sweet, skin-like)

The dry-down is soft, warm, leathery-sweet tobacco with a vintage European character.
