The company says:
Tobacco royal starts with a smooth combination of warm spices. The intensity of the tobacco absolute is right there! Beautiful notes of apricot-rich dripping davana and Broom absolute give great sustain to the heart of the fragrance. Vanilla infusion, cistus amber, and tonka beans insure that this fragrance staying power will go to the next day!

The opening of Tobacco Royal feels slightly mentholic and minty, even though mint isn’t listed. It’s not exactly spearmint, but there’s a quick cooling effect that disappears within a minute. After that, it settles into a dry tobacco accord with a touch of apricot. The fruitiness is muted and gets toned down by the dryness of the tobacco—still very tobacco-forward, maybe 25% apricot just to give it some character. The vanilla barely shows up and definitely doesn’t lean into anything like Tobacco Vanille—there’s none of that sticky, honeyed thickness. Instead, it’s airy and transparent. I don’t get anything “urinal cake–like” or off-putting either. On the positive side, it’s approachable and inoffensive.

It feels like it jumps straight into the mid after that brief opening and doesn’t have much holding it up from the base. I wish it had a woodier backbone for depth, or that the apricot was fleshed out with a bit more sweetness. Even a slight boost in tonka, vanilla, or labdanum would help. As it is, it’s just not complex enough for the price. At $3865 CAD for 75 ml, I’d honestly look elsewhere. The more I smell it, the more it feels like a flattened average of multiple tobacco scents—familiar, a bit two-dimensional, and lacking depth. Performance is decent: it lasts all day but stays close to the skin. You’re not missing much by skipping it.

This is the second scent I’ve tried from this house, and like Amber Suede, it gives me dry mid notes with basically no base. Pretty underwhelming for the price.
