Red Tobacco is a beast that polarises opinion like few others. Its nuclear projection and potent tobacco-spice blend are either adored for their bold confidence or reviled as an assault on the senses. Definitely not a blind buy.

Crimson Tobacco is Aromara's take on Mancera Red Tobacco, chasing the same cinnamon-tobacco-vanilla projection bomb Mancera built a reputation on. The 35% Extrait keeps the spice loud and the tobacco leaf sweet, though the oud in the base sits lighter and less resinous than Mancera's, and the whole thing settles quicker than the original's famously long throw.
