Unreleased, not yet available as samples. Last spring I visited a small tobacco farm in Viñales, Cuba and spent several minutes standing in the curing shed, committing the incredible smell to memory. Tobacco of course, but earthy, green, funky. When I returned home I began working to recreate it as a fragrance note.

Lost In Time was done at the request of several people on BaseNotes who wanted a realistic, not sweet, tobacco and cedar fragrance without the typical vanilla, tonka or fruity notes. The smell of a tobacco farm in Kentucky, done realistically. By most accounts I knocked it out of the park: it’s photorealistic, wears well and performance is incredible.

Notes include tobacco…and cedar.
