Description
“Leon left the French club in Marrakesh. He loved these casual meetings amongst gentlemen. The bridge game had been tough, and the subtle smell of the cigars lingered on his summer shirt. The times were certainly dangerous, but Morocco in the 1930s was probably the safest. Next week he was leaving for Cairo. The scent of the honey-tobacco chichas would replace the cigars, and the locals would call him Afandi, a sign of respect. They feared him, but little did they know about his real plans. On his way back to Europe, he would pass by Beirut, and meet his mistress. He loved how she smelled a mix of cedar-wood and violet leaves. She was sensual and playful. She would place the local tarbouch on his head, smile, laugh and drink mandarin liquors all night long. Planning revolutions had its benefits.” – a note from the brand.
Tarbouch Afandi was launched in 2016. The nose behind this fragrance is Ludmila Bitar.

I remembered having tried this one at Pitti Fragranze in Florence and I liked it a lot and now, after a few sprays from a sample, I confirm my impressions: fruity beginning, flowery hint in the middle and a smart end of musk and a very light tobacco. Definitely my cup of tea, and the development from top to bottom is well done. I really like it, it’s a very elegant modern fragance.

I had not seen a real tobacco perfume in a very long time. This is a very good one, and the mix with the mandarine is gorgeous
