Category: Scented Wax Tablets

Tabacco Toscano Scented Wax Tablet, made from Tuscan tobacco known as Herba catharinaria, named after Caterina de' Medici. Scented with bergamot, Tuscan tobacco leaves, leather, amber, birchwood, cedarwood and musk. Smoky and woody.

Description

Caterina de' Medici used tobacco as a remedy for migraines so often that the herb became known as Herba catharinaria. Tuscan tobacco, traditionally cured with wood smoke, gives the composition its intense and leathery character. The solid wax tablet carries this smoky and woody accord, deepening into a resinous base of guaiacum, sandalwood and vanilla. From the Firenze 1221 collection.

How to use

Place the wax tablets in drawers, wardrobes, or among household linen to diffuse the fragrance. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and heat. Avoid direct contact with delicate fabrics.

Edward R. ★★★★★

Bought these for the study and the bergamot top note hits right away, then settles into that deep Tuscan tobacco warmth. The cedar and birchwood keep it from being too sweet, and one tablet easily lasted the whole week. My only regret is not ordering two packs.

Ella ★★★★★

That leather-and-amber base is what sold me; it lingers for days in my hallway without ever turning cloying. The Tuscan tobacco note is surprisingly smooth, not smoky or harsh. I've already ordered two more packs.

Claire G. ★★★★★

The bergamot hits right away, but it’s the leather and birchwood that linger for hours in my living room. I popped one tablet in the warmer and the whole hallway smells like a cozy Tuscan study now. The throw is stronger than I expected for such a compact wax melt.
