What do reviewers say about Romulus and Red Tobacco Intense?
Bold leather with a sweet side that knows how to use it. Romulus isn't trying to be your signature, it's too singular for that. It wants to be the scent people remember, the one they ask about.Romulus
The projection isn't a quirk. It's the point. Red Tobacco Intense doesn't whisper; it leans in. You'll either love that it commands attention or wish it would dial back.Red Tobacco Intense
