Cigar EDT by Rémy Latour is a fragrance that defies expectation a bold, aromatic composition that opens with a burst of ripe fruit and citrus before revealing a warm, herbaceous heart and a deeply masculine base of tobacco, patchouli and sandalwood. Intense, fresh and utterly distinctive since 1996.
Cigar by Rémy Latour is a fragrance that has stood the test of time. Launched in 1996, this aromatic fruity composition for men was ahead of its moment a bold, unconventional masculine that paired the freshness of fruit and citrus with the raw, earthy depth of tobacco and wood in a way that felt genuinely new.
The opening is generous and vivid. Plum and pineapple bring a lush, tropical fruitiness, while pear adds a softer, more delicate sweetness alongside it. Bergamot and Amalfi lemon cut through with a bright citrus clarity that lifts the entire opening into something fresh and invigorating a fruit basket with real energy behind it.
At the heart, the composition takes on a warmer, more aromatic character. Bay leaf adds a spiced, slightly herbal edge, while marigold and geranium bring a green, floral warmth that grounds the fruity top without softening it too much. Jasmine weaves through the heart with a quiet, creamy floral depth that adds elegance to the composition's more rugged elements.
The base is where Cigar reveals its true identity. Tobacco the fragrance's defining note settles onto the skin with a rich, dry warmth that feels both classic and timeless. Patchouli adds an earthy, slightly dark depth, while sandalwood and Virginia cedar provide a smooth, woody structure. Musk ties the base together with a clean, skin-close finish that extends the sillage beautifully.
A fragrance for all seasons and suited to both daytime and evening wear, Cigar is a classic that rewards those who discover it.
