The opening is deceptively sharp and fresh, a one-two punch of leathery saffron and crisp apple, bathed in a haze of that smoky, medicinal Mancera oud. The scent melts into a thick, juicy amber that smells like a river of molten honeycomb coursing around pipe tobacco, dried plums, and fruitcake. Red Tobacco is so confidently spiced with nutmeg and cinnamon, it practically sizzles. The scent is toned down by the slightly dirty, smoky oud note and a patchouli note that smells like damp dark chocolate.

Decants are designed for fragrances such has this. Red Tobacco is a scent that will either find addiction or deceit. An opening strong enough to kill, with a heavy tobacco base note. You will either like it or not, and at the price point it is, an extra 16 dollars is worth the guarantee. I personally love it, its a dark, sexy fragrance that leaves people (in a 15 foot radius no less) aware of your presence. It holds away from being sweet, in fact its not sweet at all. Hiding a wide breadth of complexity, herbal notes peak around the corners of the strong earthy base, so long as your around the scent long enough.

This is really lovely. I prefer the absolut version to the original as I don’t get the strong rather peppery, bitter marigold note that I do in the original. This version is sweeter than the OG, very citrusy and fresh on the opening with a soft musky, slightly smoky undertone.
I’m currently on the hunt for a church/incense fragrance. This is incredibly smoky but fresh, dark but attractive, and so seductive. Every time I wear this, I feel like I’m being lured into an ancient castle by a vampire to become a bloody sacrifice. It’s haunting, the metallic note isn’t very pungent but god that incense is so beautiful.
It’s dark, hypnotic, yet hauntingly beautiful. I would definitely buy a full bottle of this, though I’d say it’s more of a vampiric scent than Van Py Rhum given the metallic and mineral notes.
