Mancera

Red Tobacco

Red Tobacco by Mancera is an unisex eau de parfum from 2018 in the premium price tier. It opens with cinnamon and saffron, moves into tobacco and oud and dries down to vanilla, amber and musk. Expect around 12 hours of wear, and it projects very strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
• Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.

Heart

• Tobacco Sweet, dried and honeyed. Nothing like a cigarette.
• Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.

Dry-down

• Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
• Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
• Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
