    What do reviewers say about Opus XIV – Royal Tobacco and Black Lacquer?

    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
    The smoky resin demands the room's full attention, but the ebony wood keeps you in the driver's seat. Tom Ford doesn't play it safe, and neither does anyone wearing this.Black Lacquer
