Amouage Opus XIV Royal Tobacco EDP

Description

Amouage Opus XIV Royal Tobacco is a dense, regal smoke of tobacco, licorice and frankincense that drapes you in Omani luxury.

Crowned Indie Fragrance of the Year (2023), reviewers describe it as “rich, spicy and incredibly dense”, a boundary-pushing scent that rewards those who love depth and smoke.
