Tabac Blond Eau de Parfum(1919)
Caron ยท Ernest Daltroff ยท Chypre
An eau de parfum-strength version of Caron's Tabac Blond, following the same oakmoss-enriched leather-vetiver-tobacco base as the full parfum concentration but at a lighter, more diffusive strength suited to more frequent wear. Positioned between the richest parfum extract and the lighter eau de cologne formulation, this version would have offered a middle ground for wearers seeking Tabac Blond's distinctive smoky character without the parfum's maximum intensity or the cologne's more fleeting presence. The shared oakmoss addition across both this and the parfum concentration, absent from the original base formulation, suggests Caron refined the fragrance's chypre-adjacent depth as it built out the full concentration range. Offering a landmark fragrance across multiple strengths allowed Caron to serve different price points and wear occasions without diluting the core creative achievement of the original composition. It stands as one of several ways Caron made Tabac Blond's genre-defining leather-tobacco structure available to a broader range of customers.
