What do reviewers say about Opus XIV – Royal Tobacco and E for Men Gourmand Oriental With Sweet Clove?
Royal Tobacco is not a polite fragrance. It opens sharp and spice-forward, becomes intense in the heart with licorice and tobacco, and resolves into a dense, smoky amber that demands attention.Opus XIV – Royal Tobacco
For those who think Clive Christian means safe masculine fougeres, this is the exception. Clove and labdanum give it an edge most Private Collection releases don't attempt.E for Men Gourmand Oriental With Sweet Clove
