Why SOSA Tabac Noir is the answer
1
The accord
Sweet tobacco, tonka & vanilla
Tabac Noir is built on the same heart people love in Tobacco Vanille: dried tobacco leaf sweetened with tonka, vanilla, a touch of cacao and dried fruit over warm woods. Cosy, rich and unmistakably premium.
2
The maker
Composed, not just mixed
It's composed by an ISIPCA Versailles-trained perfumer and made in India, with real structure - a spicy opening, a tobacco-vanilla heart and a creamy dry-down - so it wears like a fine fragrance, not a flat one.
3

The accord is what smells expensive - not the label. Tabac Noir gives you that warmth from ₹499 (10ml), with 50ml and 100ml for a signature you wear every day. An independent scent, honestly framed - not a counterfeit.
The SOSA principle
Smelling expensive is about depth and restraint - not the price on the box.
A warm tobacco-vanilla, composed by a trained perfumer and worn lightly, is luxury anyone can afford. From ₹499.

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 paying 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.
