Feuilles de Tabac

The pimento berry opening is such a smart touch—it's fiery but settles into this deep, resinous warmth that lasts for hours on my coat. I keep catching whiffs of that Cuban cascarilla oil hours later and it genuinely makes me want to reapply just for the joy of that first anxious zap of spice.

That first spray hits like a warm pepper punch, but it settles into this deep, smoky spice that lingers for hours. The pimento berry note is what sold me, it's fiery without being sharp.

The Cuban cascarilla oil gives it this smoky, almost resinous depth that I didn't expect, and it lingers for hours without turning cloying. I've been reaching for it every evening since it arrived, and the fiery pimento kick settles into something warm and comforting on my skin.
