I understand that they do not use animal ingredients in this perfume, and probably many others ~ I just can't feel good about supporting a business that traffics in products that involve cruelty and death, for the sake of the 'art' of traditional perfume and the nostalgia for 'real' ingredients. But, that's just me. :-) Nice blog! Best, Issy Hi Trish;

When this is the case it is written in the text that explains the perfume at the product page." Thanks for you comment Issy :-) It's helpful for those who want to refrain from having animal ingredients in their perfumes. ~Trish Dear Issy,

They never responded to my email inquiring about whether they would consider abandoning real animal substances as Le Labo did. thanks, Issy Hi~ I’ve heard about these scents and would love to try them, but, this company not only uses but sells real animal essences/extracts such as deer musk (requires death of deer), civet (cruelty), castoreum (requires death of beaver), etc.

Tabac is not an over-the-top tobacco, so I think it would be a great introduction to tobacco based perfumes! :-) ~T That would be wonderful, being able to test the entire line!

I love the bottles and the packaging. Don't think I've tried any tobacco fragrances so I must give this one a test. I’ve seen this perfume range in London somewhere, but I can’t quite remember where.
