As the 23rd parallel north unites the sun-drenched shores of Cuba and Oman, Opus XIV - Royal Tobacco weaves as one their iconic treasures, Royal Frankincense and Tobacco Absolute, hence bearing the name of Royal Tobacco. Both fumigated since the earliest days of recorded history, their vertical signature imprints the entire evolution of the perfume, each enriched with supporting notes that reveal and sublime their complex personality. Aromatic flashes of cardamom and elemi light up a voluptuous heart shining with many facets of flowers and balsams casting their reflections upon the frankincense and tobacco duo. Emboldened by benzoin, labdanum and myrrh, ambery notes of vanilla absolute and tonka bean echo the coumarinic depth of fenugreek while graceful volutes of prunol, Bulgarian rose and osmanthus absolute evoke the fruitiness and floralcy of high-end cigars. Supported by anise and basil, the typically treacly burnt molasses notes of liquorice act as a link with the choral finale of smoky birch tar, vetiver and guaiacwood amped up by the glaring animality of oud.

Tobacco and frankincense united as Cuba meets Oman — rich, imposing, and deeply aromatic.

Editor's Notes

Richness marks Royal Tobacco, with an imposing note list capturing the intense richness of exquisite tobacco and frankincense, two ingredients that release their aromas through fumigation. In this scent, you can smell the flames amongst the embers and the smoke - which becomes a curtain to voyage through, marrying anisic and spicy notes with floral and aromatic ones, resin notes with balsamic notes, and more. Know that Royal Tobacco is mighty, its opening a burst of bergamot and orange blossom, the snap of basil leaf, and the unmistakable pulse of svelte black liquorice intensified with the saturated glow of fenugreek. All of this works with the velvety rub of rose, osmanthus, and vanilla, on an impenetrable bed of oud. When you think you’re au fait with its realism, Royal Tobacco takes on a new sense entirely - as a whole, the scent is a shuffle of ingredients, and with every wear the deck gets shuffled again…
