Description
Compagnia Delle Indie was founded in 1598. It is famous for its themed collections inspired by sunshine, sea and vacation. The latest collection is very interesting, being dedicated to the continents of the world. This fragrant journey is illustrated by different colors, dynamics and natural beauty that evoke mysteries from around the world, attracting and seducing with the magic of specific aromas.
The collection The Continents contains five fragrances named after the continents:
Oceania Tiare Blossom (Flor di Tiare),
Africa Desert Tobacco,
Asia Ginger Dust (Polvere di Zenzero),
Europe Mediterranean Breeze (Brezza Mediterranea),
Le Americhe Caribbean Fruits.
This line is designed to actuate olfactive dreamy voyages around the world, emphasizing the precious essences of each continent. The graphics and the motives on the bottles show a part of each continent separately, while the warm amber colors on the 100 ml bottles give an exotic effect to the composition
Africa Desert Tobacco is dedicated to the magical herb tobacco that has been used from ancient times in making of massage oils to stimulate local circulations and relax muscle tensions. The perfume opens with notes of bergamot and mandarin. The heart is filled with gorse berries, nutmeg and incense, while the base consists of patchouli, vanilla and tobacco.
The collection is available in 100 ml bottles, concentrated as perfume elixir. Africa Desert Tobacco was launched in 2009.

Sometimes when you wear a fragrance, it will evoke images or scent memory’s of things you smelt in your past. The funny thing with this one, is that I’ve never been to a hot desert, but this fragrance takes me there.
A hot sandy place with a gentle breeze,, picture,Indiana jones raiders of the lost arc.
Not bad for a frag I only paid £10 for,,certainly no regrets buying and I reckon this could work good as a summer night frag as it seems to sit quite close to the skin after an hour, never cloying, and I get about 8 to 12 hours longevity out of it.
Overall a fairly decent cheapie ,not your typical tobacco type of scent.

This is beautiful – sweet, spicy and smoky, with a breezy lightness that comes from the citrus and the juniper. I’m sure I can smell the sand – a smoky, dusty, smell. Very evocative. I love it.
I find the sillage is not very strong on my skin, although it is very long-lasting: 7-8 hours.

One quick note: it’s intended to be unisex, however I find it extremely masculine. Odd as it may seem, I like in on my flesh (and I’m a woman!) but it feels kind of “recently-hughed-by-your-man” 😆

It smells sweet and spicy. reminds me of a traveling man. I sprayed it on the bus and somebody said, “It smells good in here.”
I like it. it’s one of those scents you use for reference and to get a glimpse of another land.
