Ibrahim Al Qurashi French Tobacco Extrait de Parfum 100ml opens with blood orange, green apple and mandarin, moves into green tobacco, neroli, cinnamon and ginger, and settles on guaiac wood, lemongrass, luban and iris. It is a fresh, spicy tobacco in the most concentrated tier of perfume.

The Story

French Tobacco belongs to the Tobacco Collection from Ibrahim Al Qurashi, a Saudi Arabian fragrance house. Unlike a sweet or smoky tobacco, it pairs bright citrus with a green, leafy tobacco and warm spices, then dries to a clean, woody base. It is made for people who like the idea of tobacco but want it fresh and wearable in warm weather.

The Scent

Top notes. The opening is blood orange, green apple and mandarin. Blood orange gives a juicy, slightly bitter citrus, mandarin adds a sweet, sparkling lift, and green apple brings a crisp, fresh bite.

Heart notes. Green French tobacco, neroli, cinnamon and ginger form the middle. The tobacco is leafy and fresh rather than sweet, neroli adds a clean orange-blossom softness, and cinnamon and ginger bring a warm, spicy glow.

Base notes. Guaiac wood, lemongrass, luban and iris finish the fragrance. Guaiac wood adds a dry, lightly smoky backbone, lemongrass and luban (frankincense) keep it clean and resinous, and iris adds a soft, powdery finish.

An Honest Note

French Tobacco is not a classic sweet or smoky tobacco. The tobacco here is green and fresh, framed by citrus, neroli and spice, so expect a bright, clean aromatic scent rather than a dark, vanilla-heavy one. If you want a thick, sweet tobacco, a different style will suit you better. As an Extrait it is potent, so a light hand suits it best. As with any fragrance, skin chemistry changes how long it lasts and how the citrus, spice and tobacco come through.

Comparison to Louis Vuitton Imagination

• Shared notes: Both share orange citrus, neroli, ginger, cinnamon, guaiac wood and olibanum (frankincense), giving a similar bright, spicy, aromatic feel.
• Different notes: French Tobacco adds green apple, green tobacco, lemongrass and iris, while Imagination is built around bergamot, citron, black tea and ambroxan.
• Character: French Tobacco is greener and more tobacco-led, while Imagination is cleaner, with a tea and amber character.

• Verdict: French Tobacco is inspired by that fresh, spicy, ambery citrus idea and suits people who like it with a leafy tobacco twist. It is its own fragrance rather than a copy.

Performance

• Concentration: Extrait de Parfum is the most concentrated tier, carrying a higher share of fragrance oil than an eau de parfum, so it is built for longer wear.
• Application: Two sprays is usually enough. Apply to pulse points such as the wrists, neck and chest.
• Wear: Citrus and apple lift first, tobacco, neroli and spice form the middle, and guaiac wood, luban and iris carry the dry-down.
