IBRAQ Arabian Tobacco
Unisex · EDP · £54.99
Inspired by Unique'e Luxury Crush on Me.
Description
IBRAQ Arabian Tobacco is a gourmand spiced tobacco Eau de Parfum marketed as inspired by Unique'e Luxury Crush on Me, opening on tobacco, iris and saffron before a salted caramel and rose heart, closing on musk, amber, patchouli and a genuinely unusual smoked coffee base note that sets it apart from the rest of the nine strong Tobacco Collection. Product Overview Arabian Tobacco is bottled as a 100ml Eau de Parfum, confirmed at that concentration across multiple independent listings including a UK eBay stockist explicitly labelling it EDP, priced at 54.99 GBP through UK distributor Fragrance Forte. US retailer usaibrahimalqurashi.com lists the same fragrance at 59.99 USD on sale against a regular price of 119.99 USD, currently showing sold out in both 100ml and 200ml sizes at time of writing, suggesting stronger demand or a tighter production run than some of the collection's other entries. A note list found under a Parfumo style listing for a same named fragrance dated 1982 with entirely different notes and a womenswear classification has been disregarded here as a clear database mismatch, since it is inconsistent with every retailer selling this 2023 release and with the fragrance's confirmed unisex positioning. Scent Profile The opening combines the Arabian Tobacco note directly with iris and saffron, giving an immediate powdery, spiced warmth rather than easing into it. The heart is where this fragrance departs furthest from the rest of the collection, pairing salted caramel and rose with tonka, a genuinely gourmand, almost dessert like turn that no other entry in the Tobacco Collection attempts in quite the same way. The base closes on musk, amber and patchouli, joined by smoked coffee, a note not used anywhere else across the nine fragrances in this range and one that pulls the composition back toward something darker and more bitter after the sweetness of the caramel heart. Technical Structure and Development Arabian Tobacco runs a gourmand spiced structure that opens powdery and spiced, swings into genuinely sweet, caramel forward territory through the heart, then pulls back into a darker, more bitter register in the base via smoked coffee and patchouli. This sweet to bitter arc, ending darker than it starts, is a more dramatic swing in character than most of the collection's other entries attempt across their development. Performance As a confirmed standard strength Eau de Parfum, Arabian Tobacco sits in the same tier as Spanish, Jamaican, Mexican, Cuban and Greek Tobacco rather than the collection's Extrait entries. Independent retailer Havenly Cosmetics estimates longevity at around 8 to 10 hours, a solid but not exceptional figure for the EDP tier, broadly in line with what the concentration would suggest rather than standing out as unusually long or short within the range. Wear Scenarios - Evening and cold weather wear, where the caramel and smoked coffee combination reads as warm and inviting rather than sharp - Wearers who want a genuinely gourmand entry within the Tobacco Collection beyond Spanish and Cuban Tobacco's cocoa and honey sweetness - Coffee and dessert fragrance fans looking for a tobacco flanker built around an unusual smoked coffee base rather than vanilla or cocoa - A pick for anyone who found Cuban Tobacco's honey coconut base too soft and wants a darker, more bitter gourmand finish instead Scent Family Positioning Arabian Tobacco sits in the gourmand spiced tobacco lane, distinguished from the collection's other gourmand entries, Spanish and Cuban Tobacco, by a genuinely unique smoked coffee base note that no other fragrance in the range uses. Inspired By and Style Comparisons Arabian Tobacco is directly marketed as inspired by Unique'e Luxury Crush on Me, a niche gourmand release built around a similar coffee and caramel profile. This claim is independently confirmed on two separate first party retailer listings, UK distributor Fragrance Forte's own product page and UK retailer Al Amira's dedicated Tobacco Collection guide, both stating the comparison directly rather than one copying the other's marketing copy, which gives this a solid two source confirmation. TikTok creator mrfragz has also published a dedicated review of the fragrance under the hashtag arabiantobacco, discussing its gourmand character in line with this positioning. Flankers and Variations Arabian Tobacco is one of nine regional entries in IBRAQ's Tobacco Collection, alongside Spanish, French, Brazilian, Greek, Mexican, Jamaican, Dominican and Cuban Tobacco, each built around a different regional take on the tobacco note. It is also available as part of IBRAQ's multi bottle Tobacco Collection sampler sets, and in a 200ml size alongside the standard 100ml bottle. Market and Community Reception Arabian Tobacco has been reviewed individually on TikTok by creator mrfragz under dedicated fragrance hashtags, a sign of genuine standalone attention rather than only being covered as part of a wider collection roundup video. Its sold out status across both sizes at its primary US retailer at time of writing points to stronger sell through than some other entries in the range, though this cannot be confirmed as a broader trend without matching stock data from UK and other regional retailers. Community database coverage should be approached carefully for this specific fragrance, since at least one database entry under the same name clearly describes an unrelated 1982 release rather than this 2023 IBRAQ composition, a reminder that cross referencing multiple retailers rather than a single community database entry was necessary to build an accurate profile here.
