Our verdict on Opus XIV – Royal Tobacco: Acquired

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.

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.

About

Opus XIV Royal Tobacco opens with an assertive herbal spiciness, blending frankincense and anise with a hint of basil. This quickly evolves into a heart of rich, wet tobacco entwined with a pronounced licorice and plum sweetness, lifted by subtle florals. The base deepens into an opulent, resinous warmth of vanilla, benzoin, and birch tar, leaving a long-lasting, smoky, and balsamic trail.
