Aurum et Obscura Circa 93

Step back into the warmth and nostalgia of the early 1990s with Aurum et Obscura Circa ’93, a luxurious tobacco-gourmand Extrait de Parfum that captures the comforting memories of childhood, family, and simpler times. Created in collaboration with fragrance enthusiast Mark “DadScents” Franco, Circa ’93 evokes the unforgettable aroma of a grandfather's cherry tobacco pipe, freshly baked cinnamon pastries, and the inviting atmosphere of a bustling shopping mall. Rich, sweet, woody, and deeply nostalgic, this captivating fragrance transforms treasured memories into an indulgent olfactory experience.

The fragrance opens with an inviting combination of aromatic tobacco, lush green leaves, juicy cherry, and soft powdery notes, creating a beautifully balanced introduction of fruity sweetness, herbal freshness, and comforting warmth. At the heart, rich tobacco leaf and smooth cedarwood intertwine with decadent cinnamon pastry and amber woods, evoking the irresistible aroma of freshly baked cinnamon rolls mingling with warm pipe tobacco. This distinctive combination delivers a deliciously spiced gourmand character while maintaining the sophistication of a luxurious woody fragrance.

As Circa ’93 settles on the skin, deep black tobacco blends with creamy vanilla, sweet tonka bean, earthy moss, and soft cashmere musks, creating a rich, velvety drydown with exceptional warmth and depth. The initial cherry sweetness gradually melts into smooth tobacco, comforting spices, and sensual woods, leaving behind an inviting impression of cherished memories. Sweet, spicy, smoky, and irresistibly cozy, Circa ’93 is an extraordinary niche fragrance for those who appreciate sophisticated tobacco gourmands with a nostalgic soul.
