A Fragrance Worthy of International Fragrance Day: Fleurit Parfums' Fleurs De Tabac

 

There are perfumes that impress, and then there are those that leave an impression—an undeniable signature that lingers in your memory long after the scent has faded. For International Fragrance Day, I wanted to highlight a fragrance that feels celebratory, evocative, and undeniably special. Enter Fleurs De Tabac by Fleurit Parfums—a scent that whispers of old-world charm while effortlessly embracing modern refinement.

International Fragrance Day, celebrated annually on March 21st, is a global tribute to the art, history, and science of perfumery. Recognized by the Fragrance Foundation, this day encourages perfume lovers to explore new scents, appreciate the craftsmanship behind fragrance creation, and reflect on how scent shapes emotions and memories. From ancient civilizations using aromatic resins in rituals to the modern explosion of niche perfumery, fragrance has always been a powerful part of human culture.

From the first spray, Fleurs De Tabac commands attention. Bergamot’s citrusy brightness greets you first, softened by the smooth caress of almond and the spicy warmth of nutmeg. But just as you settle into that comforting glow, a rich whiskey accord swirls in, adding a boozy opulence that feels both intoxicating and so very inviting. It’s the kind of opening that makes you lean in closer, eager to see where this scent will take you.

As it develops, the fragrance reveals its smoky heart—incense curling around golden-hued tobacco, creating an aura of quiet confidence. There’s a sensual sweetness at play here, too, thanks to vanilla weaving its way throughout the fragrance composition.

And then comes the dry down, the moment where a fragrance settles into your skin and becomes part of you. Suede and musk give Fleurs De Tabac its final, velvety embrace, making the entire experience feel like a well-worn leather chair in a dimly lit lounge, a glass of something smooth in hand, and the soft hum of conversation filling the air.

Fleurit Parfums may be a new house, but several of their fragrances have already caputured my heart, and Fleurs De Tabac, which already feels like a classic, is one of them. It’s refined yet approachable, bold yet deeply wearable. If you’re looking for a scent to mark International Fragrance Day—a fragrance that feels like a celebration in itself. I thought long and hard before choosing the fragrance I wanted to represent me for this day of fragranc recogintion, and Fleurs De Tabac feels like the best one.
