How it unfolds
A scent pyramid, not a note list.
Cigar opens on saffron, settles into rose, and dries down to tobacco, oud. Because it is an oil rather than an alcohol spray, that whole arc happens slowly and close to the skin — expect 8–12 hours from a single pass of the roller.

Fragrance profile
What it actually does on skin.
Measured rather than described. Cigar holds for 8–12 hours, projects at arm's length — noticed, never loud, and reads as balanced & smooth.

The ritual
How to wear it.
Start on warm skin
Roll or spray once across the inside of each wrist. Body heat opens the top notes.
Pulse points only
Wrists, the hollow behind each ear, base of the throat. Three points is plenty.
Do not rub
Rubbing crushes the top notes and shortens the dry-down. Let it sit.
Re-apply when it steps back
An oil stays close and fades quietly; an eau de parfum carries further and thins sooner. One more pass at the wrists is enough either way.

Complimentary gift wrap for Rakhi orders
Cigar typically lasts 8–12 hours on skin. As an alcohol-free perfume oil it has no alcohol to flash off, so it dries down slowly and stays closer to the skin as it fades. Oud & Amber compositions like this one hold especially well on warm pulse points — wrists, neck and behind the ears. For all-day events, one midday touch-up is plenty.
Yes — Cigar is a 100% alcohol-free attar (perfume oil). There is no alcohol to dry out skin or clash with prayer and religious settings, which is why attars are the traditional choice across India and the Middle East. As with any fragrance, do a small patch test first if you have very sensitive skin.
Cigar is composed for men — deep, resinous, with a masculine lean in its dry-down. That said, fragrance has no rules: plenty of women wear scents from this family and wear them well. If you like its notes, it belongs on your shelf.
Roll it directly onto warm pulse points — inner wrists, the base of the throat, behind the ears. Do not rub afterwards; rubbing breaks the oil's dry-down and shortens its life. Because attar is concentrated oil, start with less than you think you need — one pass per point — and build up only if you want more presence.
Cigar is at its best during evenings out and everyday wear. Its deep, resinous profile has a considerate, close wear that never crowds a room, so it matches the setting rather than fighting it. Many wearers make it their signature for exactly those moments.
Yes — the 8 ml roll-on is built for exactly that. It is far under airline liquid limits, the rollerball design will not spill in a bag, and no alcohol means no worries in checked or cabin luggage. Slip it into a pocket, pouch or pencil case and reapply anywhere, no spraying required.
