Picture this: a tiny leather satchel of tobacco and chamomile/lavender tea surrounded by a supernatural ambery glow of warmth that only an ancient oil lamp could provide. And somehow the puzzle pieces come together to create an impression of a beautiful patchouli accord. I was on the hunt for a patchouli perfume that would capture that Natural Food Store, hippie-vibe but presented in an elegant, harmonious manner. And lo and behold I have found exactly that in a perfume that features no patchouli. Bonus points for potency. I bought the tiniest bottle of this and it’s still over half full a year and a half later.
And as Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez have pointed out: it also smells like Coca Cola. But, to me, only to the extent that Shalimar smells like Coca Cola. The inevitable resemblance that comes from a certain balance of citrus notes, sweet notes, and spicy notes.

This perfume reminds me a great deal of Cire Trudon “Ernesto” room spray. It is equally gorgeous.

umm yeah, yes please. sign me up, every day, all day! this would be it if i was forced to only wear one scent for the rest of my life, or at least a year. much more lively than tobacco & tulle, which is also splendid but with more quietly dark smolder. my boyfriend calls this my antique shop perfume, with a stately old man in the back puffing on a pipe. i don’t feel this is an “old” scent, or strictly masculine one, though. i could imagine katharine hepburn enjoying this. it’s an unpretentious and fine, rich deep green, and i feel ultra confident and calm when i wear it. it’s more of an autumn scent as the reviewer below implied but it’s done me well in warmer weather too.

Wow. This is one beautiful tobacco fragrance. It falls between the smoky depth of cigar and the sweetened amber of pipe tobacco, with a fantastic opening of chamomile and spices (I swear I get a little hit of ginger at the very top). The cedar is quietly behind it all with the slightest hint of cumin that gives this a warm, lived-in quality, like a whiff of fine smoke rising off a well-groomed man’s skin. The chamomile adds a touch of green and keeps the overall color from getting too dark, but this isn’t a green fragrance to me, it runs more toward autumnal ochers and rusts with a wonderful cushion of mosses in the drydown. Only a touch of sweetness throughout, and I can’t say I get clear floral notes at any point.
Despite all this, Meerschaum wears rather lightly and stays relatively close to my skin, making it a wonderful alternative to many of the darker, more assertive tobaccos out there. Just fantastic.
