{"product_id":"ibraheem-al-qurashi-tobacco-sample","title":"Ibraheem Al Qurashi Tobacco Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eIbraheem Al Qurashi Tobacco is an extrait that opens with Arabian tobacco, iris and saffron, moves through salted caramel, rose and tonka, and ends on musk, amber, patchouli and smoked coffee. It is dense and warm on paper, which is exactly why it deserves a try on skin first: a 2, 5 or 10 ml decant shows you the tobacco before you take the 100 ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Arabian Tobacco, Iris, Saffron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Salted Caramel, Rose, Tonka\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Musk, Amber, Patchouli, Smoked Coffee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTobacco leaf, iris and saffron\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe opening sets Arabian tobacco beside iris and saffron. Tobacco gives a dry, sweet-leafy warmth, iris a cool, powdery softness and saffron a faintly leathery spice. Together they start the perfume low and warm rather than bright, so expect a slow, grown-up opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSalted caramel, rose and tonka\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heart is sweeter: salted caramel, rose and tonka. The salt keeps the caramel from sugary excess, rose adds an old-fashioned floral thread, and tonka rounds everything with a vanilla-almond softness. It is the gourmand stage of the perfume, so smell your skin again here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSmoked coffee on a musky amber base\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMusk, amber, patchouli and smoked coffee close the perfume. Coffee brings a roasted, slightly bitter edge, patchouli an earthy depth, and musk and amber a soft glow to hold it all. Judge the finish late in the evening, when the tobacco and coffee are what remain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a small amount on clean skin of the forearm on a cool evening, and notice how the tobacco and iris arrive before the caramel does. Smell the skin again later, once the coffee and amber take over. A second wear on another day tells you whether the smoky sweetness stays pleasant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFragranceGems lists this extrait as unisex and strong, for evenings and special occasions in autumn and winter. It suits someone who likes tobacco, caramel and coffee in one warm, rich perfume. If you want a light or fresh scent for the day, this is not the one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Ibraheem Al Qurashi Tobacco as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTobacco, salted caramel and smoked coffee can go cosy or heavy, and extrait strength makes that difference larger. FragranceGems pours the vial from the original Ibraheem Al Qurashi bottle, which FragranceGems lists as Arabian Tobacco, and we add the label. The house is not involved and this is not an official brand sample. See how it sits on you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs it smoky like a cigar?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe notes record tobacco and smoked coffee, so a smoky side is part of the design. Whether it feels like a leaf, a cigar or a warm blanket depends on your skin, which a test day will tell you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow sweet is it?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSalted caramel, tonka and amber add sweetness, while tobacco, patchouli and coffee dry it out. The balance is hard to judge from a list, so try it on your own skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy is it called Tobacco here and Arabian Tobacco on the full bottle?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe sample is named after the house and the perfume's short name.
