What Reddit owners say
2/5 UniqueBatches & reformulation“But since you're talking about Red Tobacco we can assume one of the big compounding facilities like Givaudan or whatever most likely handle orders that large.”
2/5“Supremacy In Oud is the only fragrance I've tried that has ever come close to being as nuclear as Red Tobacco. It may even surpass it. Two sprays of that stuff choked me out and I'm typically an oversprayer with a weak nose.”
4/5“I own 3. Enjoy them all. But Red Tobacco is absolutely legendary 🔥”
4/5“Haven't had a chance to try a lot but of what I have, I really enjoy Mancera Red Tobacco.”
2/5“I tried a decant of Moustache EDP and liked it. My wife thought it was meh at the time, so I didn't get it. I may revisit it someday. I actually wore Red Tobacco to work today and one of my female coworkers gave me a compliment on it. I don't even have a full bottle since the stuff is so potent. My 10 ml decant is plenty for now!”

5/5 ProjectionValue“Just get a decant of red tobacco. It will come under budget and projects well. I wear alot of leather jackets and its one of the best to embody the outfits vibe. Especially in your budget”
4/5“Mancera Red Tobacco. I got a big bottle of it as a gift a few years ago but my taste has changed since. I don't love the opening of it enough, and the dry down is nice, but I have things I find nice the whole way through.”
