The story behind the bottle.
Cécile Zarokian crafted Opus XIV Royal Tobacco for Amouage, launching it in 2022 as part of the brand's signature blend of traditional Middle Eastern ingredients and modern perfumery techniques. This unisex fragrance opens with a bright aromatic profile featuring bergamot, basil, and elemi resin, before diving into a heart of tobacco, licorice, and prunol that evokes rich, warm notes of smoke and sweetness. The base is anchored by oud, benzoin, and musk, creating a deep, enveloping warmth that lingers on the skin.
Apply Opus XIV Royal Tobacco in two generous sprays; its strong sillage and long-lasting nature ensure it stays close to your skin throughout the day. The tobacco notes are particularly prominent in the first hour, so give them time to meld with the base for a more balanced experience.
