I just got my bottle. I need to wear it a few times before I can render a definite opinion. But on first impression it smells wonderfully. Spicy. Resinous. Woody. Balsamic. However, it is not as tobacco dominant as I expected. I smell more tobacco from Amouage Boundless. Spices dominate this perfume. Cloves and Cardamom are notable. There is a cinnamon smell but I think it comes from the benzoin. A dominant note is Elemi. That resin needs to be used very sparing because it is very high-pitched sweet, penetrating, dominant, and long-lasting. The smell of that resin can stay on your skin for days if you touch it. Elemi is used in the Philippines and other Asian Pacific countries as an insect repellant. And repelling it can be despite its pleasant smell. A little too much, and it doesn't take much, it gets so piercingly sweet that it repels you. I feel that it was used just a little too much in Royal Tobacco. It is the note that lasted and stood out more on me.
Nice and great review but you said you have never smelt something like Royal Tobacco- please try leather Tabac - they smell alike but Royal Tobacco smell more lighter than the leather Tabac. I love Royal Tobacco for real🎉
Hey Steven, just ordered. I love unique complex fragrances. Thank you for your detailed honest review. By the way, looking sharp, touchs of brown tobacco.
My favourite fragrance reviewer, another top notch video, amouage for me along with xerjoff have to be the best for me in terms of quality and longevity. Love from the U.K.
A bit late but I ordered one, hope it will live up to my expectations as it is a very expensive blind buy (€325, the Netherlands) and going to be a dud.
I have this on order. Looks like I'm going to like this. But amouage is lacking in their deadline department. Should have been shipped out 19th but told have to wait a little longer.
Im a fan of tobacco but the incense here is too strong for the first 5 hours. Im planning to try it but in very cold weather. Some of my friend said I smelled like church or witchcraft 😂😂
Hello Steven ! Nice video again! Hope to find a sample to test this new release. However ,here in Greece , unfortunately is hard to get samples from niche brands :( especially by Amouage
Maybe Im not sophisticated enough but I feel the house of Amouage makes fragrances for just a certain type of people. I feel like only people with strong PH, Middle Eastern people or wealthy people can pull them out haha. I also know our sense of smell changes a lot just like our opinions so in a future they have something that I’d love to get. I’m more into fresh/woody/citrus type of notes.
Steven - thanks for another excellent review. Does it go in the direction of Journey Man, another spicy tobacco release from Amouage? Also, it's exciting to hear that Amouage went back to its roots - if its anything like the uniqueness of Interlude, I'm excited.
This fragrance is the worst scent I’ve ever smelled in my life. I can not, objectively, believe that a company produced this let alone that a human would want to wear this. I’ve lost so much faith in reviewers after this disaster.
After so many years of watching ur channel, i have a question for you. Why only like or love and not dont like reaction? Do you like or love everything u smell always? That's my genuine curiosity...
He's not saying "omg you must get it" My analysis is that he's not crazy about it. However, it is still a buisness and it deserves a review. Cut him some slack.

Royal tobacco is one of their greatest hits up to date.
This is a really good Amouage. Reminds me of a holiday scent. Like a trip to G Boys( NJ folks will know this one)
I have Slow Dive, Naxos, Montobaco and now Royal Tobacco completely different scents I love then all
Presentation, packaging and bottle design are stunning. Great review.
Great presentation Steven! I super appreciate! 🙌🏻🙌🏻💓💓💓
I like and respect how you dress up you present an Amouage
Nice and great review but you said you have never smelt something like Royal Tobacco- please try leather Tabac - they smell alike but Royal Tobacco smell more lighter than the leather Tabac. I love Royal Tobacco for real🎉
Tried it , love it, and already got it, it’s truly unique
Hey Steven, just ordered. I love unique complex fragrances. Thank you for your detailed honest review. By the way, looking sharp, touchs of brown tobacco.
Try Tiziana Terenzi Chiron. Very unique tobacco
I'll give it a try!
My favourite fragrance reviewer, another top notch video, amouage for me along with xerjoff have to be the best for me in terms of quality and longevity. Love from the U.K.
I really appreciate you saying that! Thank you!
Me too! Xerjoff and amouage ❤️
It's an insult to compare Xerjoff with Amouage
@@calinbiris47😁
I love that all matte finish on the classic men's amouage style bottle
Yes it looks very nice
Opus 24 is on my radar. I keep hearing so many good things about it this winter.
Nice suit Mr. Steven. Is it wool or linen?
Thank you so much! It's 65% viscose and 35% polyester.
When you scan the code what suppose you see?
Awesome presentation Steven.
This is my latest Amouage. This fragrance is simply mega. An absolute 💯 🔥
Hi Steven nice see you again.
Thank you for stopping by, Paul!
What would you recommend for a more versatile, daily wear scent- Royal Tobacco or Boundless? Thanks for the great review as always!!!
Boundless
Best presentation I’ve ever seen so far love the color of the bottle ⭐️ very elegant
Agreed! The bottle texture and color is very nice
A bit late but I ordered one, hope it will live up to my expectations as it is a very expensive blind buy (€325, the Netherlands) and going to be a dud.
Hey Steven, let's hear your thoughts on this one
Thank you for watching!
I have this on order. Looks like I'm going to like this. But amouage is lacking in their deadline department. Should have been shipped out 19th but told have to wait a little longer.
I really hope you get it soon and I hope you love it!
I getting a sample thanks for info
Hope you like it!
Hi the smell of amouage opus v wood symphony and old opus v is same or different ?
tobacco is right up my alley
Glad to hear you like the note!
Love Cecilezarokain creations Tango and Ani my favourites and I'll try to get this new release soon.
I hope you love it, Ahmed!
@@Redolessence thank you Steve great review hope you very successful day
Thank you for your review on the new release. This is the 1st video I'm watching about it after the IG live stream from the Perfumer C.Z
Thank you so much for tuning in. I hope my review did it justice. It's a great fragrance.
Another great video! Royal Tobacco is one of my new favorites. It’s the right blend of smoky and sweet on me.
how much percentage oil ?
Where can we buy this ?
I put a link down below in the description section. Thanks for watching!
Tobacco vanil Tom Ford or royal tobacco amouage?
Definitely Amouage royal tobacco, have vibe tom ford tobacco oud little bit
Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille is much sweeter with more of a pipe Tobacco note.
This one is darker with more spice and boldness.
I own and like both
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed night
Thanks, Michael! Have a great day!
You welcome keep up the good work and thank you very much
Im a fan of tobacco but the incense here is too strong for the first 5 hours. Im planning to try it but in very cold weather. Some of my friend said I smelled like church or witchcraft 😂😂
don~t listen to your clown friends
Which occasions can you wear this to?
Wedding ❤
Basil? 🤔 I have my mind on Boundless. Should I even sample this?
I have a bottle the smell is so strong I can confirm this is the strongest perfume ever made it is awesome.
This sounds wonderful! Thanks for the review Stephen.
You're very welcome! I appreciate you stopping by
That bottle is massive!!!
Yup. Thanks for watching!
Great review. Can’t wait to get this one!! Also very interested in the tobacco offering from Boadecia the Victorious
Thank you so much for sharing this
You are so welcome!
Thank you!!
Do you think having silver oud and king blue is redundant? I have silver oud and I was wondering if i should get king blue or epic 56
get interlude 53
@@ToriZealot I have regular interlude
Did you get the free bottle for this review from Amouage? I have heard about "free bottle" things. Thanks.
Hello Steven ! Nice video again! Hope to find a sample to test this new release. However ,here in Greece , unfortunately is hard to get samples from niche brands :( especially by Amouage
I know what you mean. I would highly recommend Rosina Perfumery in Glyfada, but I don't think they carry Amouage unfortunately.
@@Redolessence thank you for your reply. I have visited this store but unfortunately no Amouage's there...
the mass appealing fragrances are boring give me this all day, thank you Steve
Great review!
Thank you so much, Kenneth!
Amouage Royal Tobacco...avant garde !
7 more days untill Royal Tobacco arrives at my doorstep!
Hey Stephen lookin great 👍👍 ... waiting for ur reviews on female perfumes...
Pls do one ASAP...love from India.

Thanks for another great review ☺️👍👍
You're so welcome, Jason
"and that's just off the dome" damn steven!
Haha. Thanks for watching, Nicholas!
RT is a Masterpiece
I see you're dressed to the nines, Steven. Appreciate this review. Gotta get my nose on this one.
What season would this be for ?
Definitely cold weather. This stuff is strong.
Wonderful review Steven! Sounds like a goldilocks tobacco! 😄
Haha. It's a good one! Thank you so much for stopping by!
Hey Steven, looking sharp!! Sounds like a great smelling complexity, can't wait to get My Nose👃🏼on it...Thanks for the review, have a pleasant week. 😊
Thank you very much!
Great video
Even the name tells me that it smells like royalty!
Absolutely, Brian!
@@Redolessence I'm sharing your channel with all my friends in the fragrance community
@@brianclark6294 thank you so much! I appreciate that very much
@Redolessence no problem! Love the sophistication in your reviews! I can tell you love fragrances and take it very serious!
Love the suit
Oh and Senator, love the suit
Amwage is love 💗
I definitely love the brand!
Fucking amazing scent!
So glad you love it!
I love too , and I don't care ppl like or not I spray and enjoy 🙂
This fragrance is the worst scent I’ve ever smelled in my life. I can not, objectively, believe that a company produced this let alone that a human would want to wear this. I’ve lost so much faith in reviewers after this disaster.
It's absolutely horrible. One small spray and I smelled like church incense all day. Horrific
who is interested in your boring story of bad taste?
It started to sound like a salad when you first started describing it.
Hahaha. I can see that!
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching, my friend!

Man, you've been doing videos for almost a decade and you still got a clip on mic with the wire dangling off your coat? Step up your game, son.
Is this a joke 😒
