French perfume house Caron has launched Tabac Blanc, a new unisex fragrance. Tabac Blanc joins Tabac Exquis, Tabac Noir and Tabac Blond in the Luminous Tobaccos collection.

Tabac Blanc explores the more luminous facets of tobacco. An invitation to travel to the heart of the lush valleys of South America. Dawn’s first light begins to appear over the tropical rainforest. The freshness emanating from the foliage creates an invigorating and humid mist in the atmosphere. In the valley, the morning breeze sweeps between the yerba maté plantations, rustling their leaves as it passes. A few pops of colour from the orange-red fruits of cocoa trees and the purple flowers of tropical irises emerge from this deep green ecosystem. Subtly balanced, Tabac Blanc is a reflection of this landscape. Deeply comforting and regenerating.

Tabac Blanc is one of the first fragrances to incorporate maté as its cornerstone. Overdosed in the formula, this South American plant is elevated by the radiant notes of bergamot and white tea. The floral notes of jasmine and the sensual scent of white musk are then added. The cocoa bean in the composition is showcased through the woody notes of cinnamon and the intense ones of vanilla. The third star ingredient comes in the form of iris, revealing hints of violet through its three most stunning qualities: concrete, irone and resinoid. Appearing as a base note, iris envelops the perfume in a powdery and delightfully elegant cocoon. An immersion in the luxurious landscapes of South America, Tabac Blanc is a tobacco scent with a radiant freshness and enveloping comfort.

Caron Tabac Blanc is available in 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum. It was developed by perfumer Jean Jacques.
