Distinct from the scent of smoking tobacco, the tobacco note is warm and sweet. It is velvety soft and smooth, with enveloping, honey-like facets. A rich, aromatic note often likened to the scent of freshly cut hay.
Rather large in stature, tobacco plants typically measure 2 meters in height, and produce large, oval-shaped leaves that measure 50 cm in length. Their coveted scent is obtained using volatile solvents. Their naturally dark color means that the absolutes are typically artificially bleaches. The absolutes are predominately produced in France, but their use is restricted on account of their nicotine content.
