The accord
Sweet tobacco leaf over creamy tonka & vanilla
Tabac Noir is built around the same heart that makes Tobacco Vanille so loved: dried tobacco leaf sweetened with tonka bean, vanilla, a whisper of cacao and dried fruit, resting on warm woods. It's cosy, rich and unmistakably premium.

What Tabac Noir does is capture the direction and feel of that famous tobacco-vanilla accord honestly - so you get the warmth and compliments without the ₹18,000+ ticket. It's an independent SOSA scent, not affiliated with Tom Ford.

A note from Sonal

I adored the tobacco-vanilla accord long before I trained as a perfumer at ISIPCA in Versailles. What I never loved was being asked to pay a small fortune for a feeling - warmth, cosiness, a little luxury - that great materials can deliver at a fair price.

So I built Tabac Noir: an honest, inspired-by take on that famous sweet-smoky tobacco-vanilla. Not a fake, not a claim to be the original - just the accord you love, made beautifully in India, from ₹499.
