Remy Latour has 14 perfumes on Scendira, from about $19 to $88, mostly at the lower end. The two Remy Latour perfumes that stand out in the fragrance communities Scendira tracks are Cigar and Cigar Blue Label, a pair that treat tobacco smoke in a fruity way.
How the two Cigar scents differ
Cigar (Eau de Toilette, 1996) is fruity, smoky cigar smoke over cedar wood. Bergamot, lemon, pear, pineapple and plum open it, and tobacco, patchouli, sandalwood and cedar close it.
Cigar Blue Label, an Eau de Toilette from 2020, is fresh citrus with fruity plum and smoky sweet tobacco; orange blossom, grapefruit and bergamot sit above tonka bean, musk, amber and teak wood.
