The fragrance
Royal Tobacco opens with a deep and enigmatic blend: frankincense lends a mystical and intense character, while anise , cardamom , and basil introduce a spicy and aromatic interplay, balanced by the freshness of bergamot . Elemi resin adds a citrus-balsamic touch that connects the classic with the contemporary.
At its heart, dark tobacco takes center stage, softened by the sweetness of licorice , the warmth of fenugreek , and the floral richness of osmanthus , lavender , rose , and orange blossom . This core blends masculine and feminine notes with an enveloping sophistication.
The base is extraordinarily complex and long-lasting: an intense blend of sacred resins (frankincense, myrrh, benzoin, labdanum), oud , Bourbon vanilla , vetiver , musk , and exotic birch tar , which reinforces the fragrance's smoky and mysterious character. All of this creates an aura of opulence, introspection, and power.
