Decanted Sample of Red Tobacco by Mancera

Strong first impression, then a nice dry down tobacco. Great compliment getter . For colder weather

The scent starts out with a screechy hay-like scent, I smell the lightly sweet pear but it's overwhelmed by a very dry tobacco. Really, this makes all other tobacco scents smell sweet and green. The drydown is okay, but overall it lives up to the sillage beast hype. Perhaps I'm just not ready for a composition like this.

I understand why this isn't a blind buy. The opening was harsh at first, but I've grown to enjoy it. The drydown is great too. A sample was necessary. The tobacco is rugged and shines through in the mid and there's a bit of a fruity vibe to it that I wasn't expecting. Projection is pretty nuts, longevity is solid too around 9-10 hours. Definitely a cold weather scent.

Loce the dry down sweetness of the tobacco but it's hard to make it through the initial top.  Very medicinal to me.  It does last a long time though.

First: beast. This scent will stay on clothing through multiple washes, and lasts ages on skin. Second: tobacco. Overpowering tobacco type smell. Not for me or most, but may be great for some. Third: affordable. For the longevity of this fragrance, the price is not bad at all. However, definitely sample first, for the scent is NOT for everyone.

This scent gets a lot of hype in the fragrance community...and its not deserving of it. The scent isn't particularly powerful like people claim- the spices aren't strong and neither is the tabacoo. It's also mancera so its not cheap. It does at least last 8 hours on me though.

This scent is not bad but it just wasn't my type of fragrance.  Strong tobacco scent and got a lot of compliments on it but to my nose it's just not for me.  Mancera fragrances so far for me are hard to like.
