Straight off of the bat, Red Tobacco is a powerhouse, it's one of those beastly scents that you know from the start will take you for a wild ride. The oil concentration here is far superior to most, I Hit my wrist with just two sprays initially and can see the faint film of oil on the skin. You won't see that with a Dior of Tom Ford. RT is a polarizing, high-octane scent, with an aggressive opening and an incredibly rich, sweet dry down. Again from the nose of Pierre Montale whom founded both the Mancera & Montale houses. This is a woody Spicey release from 2017. I'm starting to believe that this is a Jekyll & Hyde fragrance. It started of as a chaotic Spicey explosion, before settling into a smooth, luxurious gourmand. ​ ​With top notes of Saffron, Cinnamon, Incense, Nutmeg, White Peach, Green Apple, Nepalese Oud. It is a loud & challenging opening. I struggled a bit with this . It is medicinal, sharp, and intensely spicy. There is an awful lot going on here and it will take my nose some time to adjust to the sensory overload, but I'm liking it. Much simpler at the heart with just Patchouli leaves & Delicate Jasmine. The sharp edges begin to soften as a dark, earthy patchouli emerges to ground the spices. As for the base is becomes what I could only describe as a masterpiece. If anything was going to challenge my Spicebomb Extreme for the no 1 spot, it would be Red Tobacco. The only thing stopping it would be sentimental attachment. Perhaps it's time to start looking at a Niche list instead to make it fair. So base notes of Tobacco, Amber, Guaiac Wood, Sandalwood, Vetiver, Madagascar Vanilla & White Musk. This is where the magic happens. It transforms into a creamy, cherry-like tobacco scent with heavy vanilla and warm resins. So I usually but very appealing. If you are looking for a fragrance that stays with you & everyone else, all day, this is it. On skin I'm getting 12hrs, but it will stay on clothes till wash day. Projection, is nuclear. For the first 3–4 hours, it will fill a room. Even after that, it maintains a heavy scent trail that people will notice from several feet away. I would definitely be keeping this one for the cold weather. RT is not a safe blind buy. This will get you noticed. So if you enjoy heavy, spicy, sweet compositions like Parfums de Marly Carlisle or Viktor&Rolf Spicebomb Extreme this could be for you. Word of caution, from a heavy sprayer, start with one spray. Seriously. Spraying this more than twice in an indoor setting could get you in trouble.

Trying out Indigo’s samples service, a few Imaginary Authors, Atelier Des Ors Discovery and a Sweet Heaven by Gulf Orchid.

Good Sunday morning Fragrance Family. Another day of thanksgiving and awareness of just how good my Creator has been to me. I never want to take these moments for granted, and today I’m simply grateful for life, growth, and the ability to enjoy the small things that bring us joy. I will keep it simple today with a highly glazed but absolutely fantastic fragrance. My scent of the day is Caden by Omanluxury. I believe I shared thoughts on this one when I first tried it from a decant, and it made such an impression that I knew it was full bottle worthy. Smooth, rich, and beautifully composed, this fragrance just works. Have a great day, enjoy your Sunday, and be a blessing to someone else.
