What started as a personal project for my love of a non-sweet, cigar-like scent turned into a full year-and-a-half journey to create something truly unique. It was just a blend of cigar and vanilla tinctures (60/40) with a few extra ingredients which added up 20% of the final fragrance with no additional alcohol in it. After sharing samples with friends, it quickly gained popularity, and I received countless requests for an official release. Now, after sourcing new materials and letting a fresh batch of cigar tincture age for nearly a year,
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is tobacco at an unhurried, close-quarters gathering: conversation settles, coats stay on the backs of chairs, and the scent’s dry smoke and leathery warmth feel deliberately informal. Its savory animalic edge suits a presence that is tactile and slightly rough rather than polished or sweet.
How to wear
Start with one light application on skin and let the smoky, animalic character settle before adding more. Cool weather is a natural starting point for its dense tobacco-and-wood profile; in warmth or shared indoor spaces, keep the dose restrained. Apply beneath clothing for a more contained impression.
Who it’s for
For lovers of dry tobacco, smoky woods and leather who find many tobacco fragrances too sweet. Best suited to a taste for savory, animalic compositions, where musk and castoreum bring texture rather than a freshly washed finish.
Release year
2024 (or 2025)
The nose
Ashek Zubayer, Byermia’s perfume artist, approaches fragrance through handcrafted compositions that connect vintage perfumery textures with modern techniques. His palette includes ouds, floral absolutes and musks, without restricting itself to exclusively natural materials. Tabac Sura grew from his personal pursuit of a non-sweet, cigar-like scent.
Byermia’s story
Byermia is a family passion project based in Sydney, owned and operated by Zannat Lamia. The house pairs a focus on distinctive raw materials with small-scale craftsmanship, drawing on vintage perfumery aesthetics while embracing modern materials and techniques.
Tabac Sura’s concept
Tabac Sura began as a personal experiment in capturing cigar tobacco without the usual sweetness. Its development took roughly eighteen months, starting with a 60:40 blend of cigar and vanilla tinctures enriched with other materials. Enthusiastic responses from friends encouraged a commercial release, which required fresh sourcing and nearly a year of aging for a new cigar tincture.
Extra info
The material list identifies cigar tincture from 2023, vanilla tincture from 2022 and a special 2011 batch of Trat oil. Early release copy offered 50 bottles, but a subsequent batch means that figure is not the fragrance’s lifetime production total.
