An ornate tobacco leather with a hint of intoxicating tobacco bloom, as well as fresh leaves.
Montabaco is part of the Four Corners of the Earth collection and represents Latin America, the land where tobacco originated.
The perfumer conjures the original jungle encounters between natives and the sailor-explorers (who were totally oblivious to the magic of tobacco at that point). This is a novel interpretation of a tobacco-themed perfume, invoking lush green shadows full of parrot cries, mysterious blooms, and adventure.
The elixir is also exceptionally concentrated, at 42%. Hence the 'intensivo' in the title.
