Mancera Red Tobacco Intense

Mostly warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family. Underneath that, dried leaves, sweet and warm rather than like a lit cigarette.

It opens on cinnamon, incense and agarwood (oud), moves through tobacco, leather and patchouli, and settles on vanilla, musk and guaiac wood.

• cinnamon: hot sweet baking spice
• incense: dry resinous smoke, the smell of a church rather than a bonfire

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
