Tobacco Leaf Wax | Nicotiana Tabacum | Warm, woody, and smoky aroma with grounding, sensual, and antioxidant properties for skincare and perfume.

Tobacco Leaf CO₂ Wax, extracted from the cured leaves of Nicotiana tabacum, is a rich, sophisticated aromatic material obtained through supercritical CO₂ extraction. This rare and luxurious wax embodies the deep, warm, and leathery essence of aged tobacco leaves—complex, elegant, and sensual.

Unlike the sharp notes of synthetic tobacco accords, the CO₂ wax offers a true natural expression of the leaf’s aroma: smoky yet sweet, earthy yet refined. It contains both volatile aromatic molecules and fixed plant waxes, yielding a semi-solid material that is equally functional and fragrant. Valued in natural perfumery, high-end skincare, and aromatherapy, Tobacco Leaf CO₂ Wax is a unique fusion of craftsmanship and natural chemistry.

The scent of Tobacco Leaf CO₂ Wax is warm, deep, and sensual, with complex layers that unfold slowly.
Top notes reveal sweet hay, dried fruit, and honey, followed by amber, smoky, and woody middle tones, finishing with an earthy, leathery base that lingers beautifully on the skin.

Its olfactory character can be described as balsamic, gourmand, and slightly resinous, with nuances reminiscent of vanilla, tonka bean, and oakwood.

This CO₂ wax serves as an exceptional fixative and base note in perfumery, blending harmoniously with:

• Vanilla, labdanum, tonka bean, and amber accords for oriental compositions.
• Sandalwood, vetiver, cedarwood, and patchouli for woody blends.
• Rose, jasmine, and orange blossom for rich, sensual florals.

It adds warmth, sophistication, and longevity to perfumes, creating a natural smoky depth that synthetic materials cannot replicate.

Cosmetic and Skincare Applications

Beyond its aromatic beauty, Tobacco Leaf CO₂ Wax offers skin-conditioning and antioxidant properties due to its content of natural wax esters, phytosterols, and polyphenols. It brings emollience, structure, and fragrance to skincare formulations, making it an ideal component for artisanal products.

Key benefits include:

•  Moisturizing: Creates a protective lipid barrier, preventing dryness.
•  Antioxidant: Helps shield the skin from environmental stress.
•  Texturizing: Adds richness and structure to solid formulations.
•  Aromatic grounding: Introduces a subtle, luxurious scent to balms and creams.

Recommended applications:

• Men’s grooming products – beard balms, aftershave creams, and colognes.
• Solid perfumes and aromatic candles – for deep, long-lasting scent.
• Whipped body butters – luxurious texture with warm, earthy aroma.
• Natural deodorants or ointments – where its fixative quality stabilizes aroma blends.

Used in small percentages (0.2–5%), it adds a refined woody-sweet note while improving the sensory profile and stability of the formulation.
