Plume Impression Royal Bourbon is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Amandine Galliano. Royal Bourbon opens with Pepper, Cinnamon, Ginger, and Licorice, settles into a heart of Tobacco, Rum, and Caramel, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, and Vanilla. Plume Impression's Royal Bourbon carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A boozy, spicy, caramel and tobacco scent that splits opinion. Some find it a sophisticated alternative to Tobacco Vanille, others find it too sweet and boozy, giving off rum baba vibes. It's a statement, not a whisper.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Royal Bourbon opens with a fiery kick of black pepper, ginger, and cinnamon, tempered by the intriguing herbal sweetness of licorice. As it develops, a rich heart of warm rum and smoky tobacco emerges, softened by a decadent caramel note. The dry-down settles into a cosy embrace of vanilla, amber, and grounding cedar, leaving a long-lasting, inviting trail.
