By the editors · 2 min readRed Tobacco Intense announces its character immediately: saffron and cinnamon open warm and metallic-golden, with incense adding a thread of liturgical smoke and pear offering brief fruit sweetness that yields almost at once to the heavier register below. The heart is uncompromising — tobacco is the dominant note, flanked by leather's animalic edge, vetiver's dry earthiness, and patchouli's humid depth. Jasmine provides a single floral counterpoint, sweet-indolic against the austere woods.
The base resolves in the deep Oriental tradition: sandalwood and guaiac wood give structure, ambergris adds the diffusive warmth that lifts the composition off the skin rather than simply resting on it, vanilla anchors the sweetness. Rich, confident, long-wearing. A fragrance that announces arrival.
