Mancera Red Tobacco EDP, 2 Fl Oz

Mancera's Red Tobacco is an incredibly potent and seductive tobacco fragrance that possesses enough spice to ignite the senses on a chilly winter's night. The opening is deceptively sharp and fresh, a one-two punch of leathery saffron and crisp apple, enveloped in a hazy veil of Mancera's signature smoky and medicinal oud. This initial phase evokes the aroma of oud chips fermenting in a vat of honey – medicinal, slightly pungent, and deliciously sweet-and-sour. However, the scent soon sheds any semblance of freshness and transforms into a thick, juicy amber that evokes a river of molten honeycomb coursing around pipe tobacco, dried plums, and fruitcake.

Red Tobacco is confidently spiced with nutmeg and cinnamon, lending it a sizzling quality. Over time, the sweet and rich pipe tobacco emerges from its bed of amber and spice to claim the spotlight as the true star of the fragrance. The overwhelming sweetness of the scent is tempered by the slightly dirty, smoky oud note and a patchouli note that imparts a hint of damp dark chocolate. Akin to a naughty cousin to Montale's Honey Aoud, Red Tobacco will warm the bones in winter and captivate the senses of anyone who encounters its alluring trail.

At the heart of this fragrance, saffron, cinnamon, incense, and nutmeg mingle with the crisp notes of white pear and green apple, while the Nepalese oud lends its medicinal and smoky character. The floral heart is dominated by delicate jasmine, with the earthy patchouli providing depth and richness. The base notes of precious tobacco, amber, woody accords, vetiver, vanilla, and white musk create a sensual and long-lasting dry-down that lingers on the skin.

Red Tobacco's impressive sillage and longevity make it a captivating choice for those seeking a bold and intoxicating fragrance that evokes the warm and comforting embrace of a cozy winter's night. This scent is a testament to Mancera's mastery of crafting complex and alluring olfactory experiences that seamlessly blend traditional and modern elements. Whether worn as a personal indulgence or to command attention, Red Tobacco is a fragrance that demands to be noticed and revered.
