What it is: A fragrance that's a daring, lavish, deep and modern creation fit for men and women alike.Fragrance story: As the 23rd parallel north unites the sundrenched 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.Notes:- Top: frankincense oil, elemi, cardamom, anise, basil, bergamot.- Middle: tobacco absolute, liquorice root, lavender, prunol, fenugreek, orange blossom, osmanthus, rose.- Base: frankincense reinoid, Peru basalm, benzoin, labdanum, myrrh, birch tar, tonka bean, vanilla Madagascar, vetiver, guaiac wood, oud assam, musks.
