Tobacco Mandarin

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Byredo Tobacco Mandarin

Byredo Tobacco Mandarin, released in 2020 and crafted by perfumer Jerome Epinette, was part of the brand’s Night Veils Extrait collection. One of Byredo’s darkest extraits, it captured the warmth of smoked citrus wrapped in velvet amber and earned a passionate niche following.

The Story Behind the Scent

Our interpretation references that original formulation: a warm, spiced citrus opening, a smoky tobacco and leather heart and a deep, resinous woody drydown.

We build it as a long lasting Eau de Parfum with a high perfume oil load, made in the EU, so you can enjoy the same dark character even though the original has been discontinued.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original has been discontinued and is hard to find. We rebuild the same smoky mandarin tobacco character as an eau de parfum and sell direct, so you can wear it again without paying resale prices.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a smoky mandarin tobacco scent.

Notes

Top notes: Mandarin Orange, Coriander, Cumin

Heart notes: Tobacco, Leather, Olibanum

Base notes: Oud, Sandalwood, Labdanum

How it Smells

The opening is warm and spiced, juicy mandarin lit by coriander and a savoury touch of cumin.

The heart turns smoky and rich, tobacco and leather deepened by resinous olibanum.

The drydown is dark and velvety, oud, sandalwood and labdanum giving a deep, lasting amber warmth.

Common Questions

How close is it to Byredo Tobacco Mandarin?

Very close on the character that made the original a niche cult favourite: smoked citrus wrapped in velvet amber, tobacco and oud. We reference the original 2020 formulation and build ours at a high concentration.

Is the original still available?

The original has been discontinued and is now hard to find, or only sold at high prices by resellers. Our version brings the same style back so you can wear it again without hunting for a bottle.

Is this the same perfume as Byredo Tobacco Mandarin?

No. We do not use the same formula or ingredients. It is an independent interpretation made to evoke the same style, created because the original is no longer easy to buy.

How long does it last?

You can expect several hours on skin. Spraying onto clothing as well as skin helps it last even longer.

Who is it best for?

It is made for anyone who loves a dark, smoky citrus and tobacco with real depth.

How should I apply it?

Spray on pulse points such as the wrists, neck and inner elbows. A light spritz on clothing makes it last through the day.
