Tabac Vert Rogue
by Rogue Perfumery
Tabac Vert Rogue is a refined, vintage-inspired tobacco chypre that feels both timeless and modern. It opens with a fresh, mentholated bergamot and sharp green oakmoss, quickly layered with a soft, powdery floral core of carnation, rose, and jasmine, giving it a delicate, almost barbershop-like elegance. The tobacco note is vegetal and green rather than sweet or smoky, blending seamlessly with the mossy base, while sandalwood and amber lend warmth and depth. Over time, the fragrance evolves into a linear, well-balanced composition with a dry, soapy, slightly medicinal undertone—aromatic oakmoss remains prominent, contributing to a restrained, classy projection. It performs exceptionally well, lasting over 10 hours with moderate sillage, and feels more balanced in cooler weather, making it especially suitable for autumn and winter. Despite the name 'Tabac,' the tobacco is not dominant, instead acting as a key component within a broader chypre framework centered around moss and restrained florals.
