About This Perfume
Amouage Opus XIV Royal Tobacco is a dense, many-layered composition. It smells like smoky tobacco leaf wrapped in warm amber and incense smoke. Aniseed, cardamom, elemi, frankincense oil, basil and bergamot open it. Liquorice root, tobacco absolute, Bulgarian rose, fenugreek, osmanthus, lavender, orange blossom and prunol form the heart. The base is long: frankincense, myrrh, Assam oud, benzoin, birch tar, bourbon vanilla, gaiac wood, labdanum, musk, Peru balsam, tonka bean and vetiver.
It is unisex and the community places it in fall and winter, day or night, often for casual wear. Its accords read smoky, spicy, resinous and woody.
Performance is a real strength: longevity rates as long and projection fills a room. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks. At this price, a sample is the right first step.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone who loves smoky tobacco, incense and resin in a rich, complex scent.
- Sample first if: you are weighing the price or unsure about birch tar and smoke.
- Skip if: you want something light, fresh or simple.
Around $395.
