Aromara Royal Leaf is an Extrait de Parfum. Royal Leaf opens with Davana, Cinnamon, and Rum, settles into a heart of Tonka Bean, Tobacco, and Benzoin, and dries down to a base of Leather, Oud, Labdanum, and Peru Balsam. Aromara's Royal Leaf carries an Acquired verdict, a tobacco-led wear.

Royal Leaf is Aromara's take on Amouage Opus XIV Royal Tobacco, a rich rum-and-tobacco luxury scent. Rum, cinnamon and davana open into tobacco, tonka and benzoin, over oud and leather. Built at 35% Extrait.

About

Royal Leaf takes on one of Amouage's most opulent niche releases - Opus XIV Royal Tobacco - and does a genuinely respectable job of the boozy rum-and-tobacco signature that makes the original so distinctive. Rum, cinnamon and davana open with real warmth before the tobacco, tonka bean and benzoin heart settles in, smoky and faintly sweet rather than dry or ashy. The Peru balsam, labdanum, oud and leather base is where the dupe shows its ambition, chasing the original's dense, resinous depth rather than settling for a generic gourmand tobacco. It doesn't have the sheer layered complexity Amouage is known for, but the boozy-tobacco-leather core is unmistakably there, and at 35% Extrait it has the legs to last through a full evening.
