Royal Tobacco Opus XIV Amouage: is a fragrant journey along the Tropic of Cancer from Oman to Cuba, connecting Royal Frankincense to Regal Tobacco
Good evening everyone, hope you’re good ,safe and healthy.
Today is the Surprise and I hope it will be a good surprise, as I’ve never revealed that I have the perfume. it’s Royal Tobacco from Amouage created by the master perfumer stylish genius Cecile Zarokian parfumeur.
Royal Tobacco is revealed as the scent match with cigar and humidors (cigar boxes), so as a cigar smoker let’s find out this match and discover Royal Tobacco.
Starts with a great cpicy cardamom and resinous elemi with a hint of frankincense added by a green fougere basil which gave a sharp green touch.
In fact , the perfume has a lot of notes so maybe the transitions between the notes can be felt slowly somehow, as I have it from last week and I did test few times, so I will give the transition in details let’s find out more.
Diving into the sweet heart where the main note explodes tobacco absolute, yes a real dry tabacco, smells exactly like the cigar in front of me, sweetened by a lot of rosy and flowery notes: rose, orange blossom and lavender, in addition of licorice which added a sweet spicy touches to the scent.
Finally will be based in the middle of tons of ambery resinous notes (Frankincense, Myrrh, Benzoin) with sweet strong vanilla absolute and hints of oud as I believe it’s the same Assam Oud used in Silver Oud, I can feel the same Soul of Assam Oud in Royal Tobacco as I think it’s Cecile touch.
In general you’re going to reach a sweet resinous dry tobacco scent.
The performance is beast, I think if it was 50mL it would be enough, it’s tough and hard to wear and extremely strong lasted for 18_20hrs on skin, Projection 4_5hrs and sillage 8hrs, so this a true beast mood.
Royal Tobacco smells like a real cigar Tobacco yes, Cecile Zarokian parfumeur is a true genius and did an amazing job balancing tons of notes.
This was the review of Royal Tobacco, I hope you enjoyed it, hope to see you again soon.
