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.
Royal Tobacco chases Amouage Opus XIV Royal Tobacco, the opulent honeyed-tobacco powerhouse. The smoky, incense-laced tobacco with its licorice-fenugreek sweetness comes through, but Perfume Parlour cannot match the Amouage's layered depth or 12-hour performance, rendering it simpler and shorter.

Season and Occasion Fit
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
A rich smoky tobacco oriental built for cold weather; it shines in autumn and winter and feels suffocating in warm months.
Occasions
Its opulent, statement smokiness suits evenings, dates and formal occasions far more than the office, sport or casual daytime.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Tobacco, Warm Spicy, Amber accords and Frankincense, Cardamom notes
