Cigarettes chic is making a comeback. This time, more aesthetic.

No, not in your lungs - smoking’s still a no-go - but in beauty, strangely enough. While always considered part of the fashion scene, with stick thin models subsisting on coffee and cigarettes, we're now seeing the old-school cig become a status symbol again. According to Women’s Wear Daily, for the fashion crowd, a lit cigarette is shorthand for chic. At the Fall 2024 shows, Christian Cowan and LaQuan Smith sent models down the runway with smokes in hand, exuding retro cool.

But, the cig-inspired revival doesn’t stop there. Cigarette-chic has infiltrated the beauty industry with a slew of products drawing inspo from the tobacco-tinged tokes. Unrestrained, the Lana Del Rey Cigarette Lipsticks were a viral hit, as well as ones from LUX UNFILTERED and Little Smoke. And then there’s the scent. Tobacco perfumes are stealing the spotlight, blending a smoky allure with modern sophistication. From Dossier to Tom Ford’s iconic Tobacco Vanille, tobacco-inspired fragrances are having their moment.

So whether you’re channeling the runway, giving your beauty routine a little edge or testing a new signature scent, here are some ways to embrace the old-school cigarette aesthetic - no match required.
