Which Should You Buy?
This one is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, Opus XIV is a masterpiece. Forget your typical sweet tobaccos - this is a bold, complex, and unashamedly powerful scent for confident individuals who aren't afraid to stand out. It's not for the faint of heart.
This one's a proper grown-up vanilla, swaddled in smoky amber and a whisper of green. It's a gorgeous-smelling scent, though some find its longevity less than stellar, so bear that in mind.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its beast-mode performance and overtly strong, distinct character, Royal Tobacco is completely unsuitable for office wear. It excels in formal or special evening date settings where its bold projection and opulent aroma can be appreciated without overwhelming a small space.
Seasons
Occasions
With its warm, sensual accords of amber and vanilla it's perfectly suited for dates and formal events. It's a bit too rich for the office or sport, but the moderate sillage makes it work for casual evenings if worn sparingly.
Similarity Breakdown
