Perfumer Reviews 'Red Tobacco' by Mancera

[@tonymalizia]

I like the way you started this video. You read the notes breakdown and then compared it to the ingredients list. I'm an absolute beginner with aroma compounds, but I can identify them now and your explanations are fascinating because everything starts to make sense now to me, hahaha. Thank you, Aaron!

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

That’s amazing Tony🦄

[@ianmorris5501]

The first person I've seen on KZbin, who has real chemistry skills, and knowledge of this Art form. Yep, I trust this guy.😀🔥😀

[@JohnCorbettMusic]

You're right Aaron, it improves a lot as it dries down. When I first smelt this in Selfridges after hearing rave reviews I was initially disappointed, but after about 15-20 mins I couldn't stop smelling my wrist! An hour later I walked back in and bought 120ml of it. The dry down reminds me of a dryer, less rich Side Effect by Initio. Great review mate.

[@suhasrb2396]

Agreed. I have Carlisle, Side Effect and Red Tobacco, if anything it's a slightly less expensive version of other PDM houses.

[@tonyramirez2760]

This fragrance is a beast!!! 3-sprays max. Smells wonderful, projects intensely, and last all day.

[@bigfoot131]

First time I tested it I didn’t like it and walked out of the boutique, one hour later I was getting this beautiful strong waft and was really wondering who has that perfume! Little did I know, went back to the boutique and picked it up. Now I really do enjoy the opening. In my top 5 🔥

[@MuzikM_85]

😅😅😅this is a funny comment. Thanks brother. I am considering picking up the Intense flanker.

[@Counz223]

I’m new to taking fragrances seriously and got this a few days ago.. I could not believe such a vast difference in quality existed between typical designer stuff and this entry level niche point. Got to try out Instant Crush as well but the depth of this blew me away. What an interesting composition. It was still on my skin after I showered the next morning as well. Insane performance and it just keeps on projecting..

[@Detman101]

THIS is the performance I desire from my fragrances. So far I only have 5 that work the way you described. I have GOT to add "Red Tobacco" to my collection!!!

[@ramoneregal8317]

Guys Mancera is the perfect niche brand for the intermediate-advanced fragrance appreciator.This is the level to stay at the quality price ratio is perfect after this level it's extortion.Take that from someone who has Xerjoffs,Amouage etc.I bought these from reputable discounters.They are high quality but not enough to warrant full retail.Yes I've gotten compliments but I've also had people say nothing.Mancera always gets compliments due to the projection strength and scent profile.Thats why them and Montale are my staple house.With some sprinkling of other niche brands

[@jonboz7585]

I've watched several reviews of Red Tobacco, but yours convinced me to buy it. I liked your enthusiastic presentation, resembling an orchestra conductor bringing out the various instrumental components of the complex assemblage. Good job, maestro.

[@winnienguyen4420]

It's so worth a purchase. Similar to Tom Ford Tobacco Oud or Amouage Interlude Man. They smell phenomenal on the right guy dressed the right way say in a tailored Italian suit for example. Definitely not for your basic gym douche bros.

[@ramoneregal8317]

You're right it's phenomenal on the right skin and heard the intense is even more refind.Which is hard to believe as to me it's almost perfect as is.

[@mr.smellgood2794]

Same here ATH is rarely impressed with certain frags. I wear it anytime even in the summer in a controlled office environment 2 spray's of course 😂

[@chrisfairbarn9908]

I've had this for awhile and it's all about the dry down. I love it.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I agree smelt lovely at the end of the review

[@RobertLaTuso]

@@AaronTerenceHughes Ever since I discovered your channel a couple of months ago, I have literally been, gob-smacked by your amazing talent for perfumery and your passionate moral character. I have always been interested in aromatherapy and fragrances since a young kid and I wish I had the ability and nose to discern the nuances of scents the way you do. You have rekindled my interest in revisiting my fragrances with more awareness and appreciation! Thank You!

[@roadreg1820]

I agree. A truly stunning fragrance. It gives me Tom ford Tobacco Vanilla vibes on the dry down too, but with added Tobacco! 🤩

[@DuSeun]

The opening is also incredible. Challenging at first because of its uniqueness, but I loved it the second time. Also this scent combines extremely well with leather to my nose. Makes it very masculine. So if you own a leather jacket, this is the scent to wear

[@GuiltyNoticer]

I love the opening

[@Alexxf35]

Absolutely love your genuine passion for your craft and how much that carries over into your reviews.

[@dragos_irl]

I love the way how Aron break down the fragrance in detail. Keep it up 🙏

[@cruztube23]

The moment you said it reminds you of Carlisle I paused the video and pressed an decant of Red Tobacco. Thanks.

[@mihaelapribu9370]

I bought one for my son. It is exactly what you said in this video. It is for growing yourself and giving others the impression of power and support. Thank you! 🎉

[@clarencewilliams9432]

I absolutely love this fragrance. My second Niche fragrance I ever purchased. The first was Mancera Instant Crush. I really love your reviews. You give more and more. Lots of moving hands.

[@Schatje79]

Starting off the morning with your kind face, a glorious review, and a delectable cup of coffee....perfection! :D

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Ahhh. That’s lovely🦄❤️

[@MrLanarana]

Yeah , to me it reminds Carlisle too, like a brother. Cheaper than pdm but still good indeed. To me Aoud Vanille is the best from Mancera, smoky ,vanilla fragrance

[@plastickeebs321]

In Michigan cold it cuts through easily! Beast mode.. The dry down is so good and also a great compliment getter.

[@ripdajacker23]

Red Tobbaco is a beast, thanks for the review my man

[@YannisPapadopoulos]

It's amazing how organic your reviews seem. It might not be noticeable but to me it's quite clear you had an "A" image of it at the beginning (which you also liked) but then towards your final thoughts you kept getting whiffs of it, and due to its massive transformation, (since many people indeed don't love the opening but love the mid& dry-down) it seemed that the image "B" won you over more and more, and even inspire you as you said. That's just what people love about your channel, I'm sure. Being genuine, showing your human colors, breaking it down to a basically scientific level, and of course the moving hands! Please keep it up sir 👏🏻

[@adityadheerajkalabarigi1260]

Great review Aaron! People always dump on this stating it is too harsh (probably just because it is a Mancera, if it were MFK or PDM may be they would talk differently). I have always loved this. I never understood the "extremely harsh opening". For me as you said it is smooth.

[@hadnick1]

I’ve been wearing this today for the second time from a sample, the first time I liked it, this time I’m REALLY liking it and I’m definitely buying a bottle when they get cheaper around Christmas. A gift to me for me… The longer it’s on the more I like it… I’m also pretty sure my older sister will hate it which means I’m gonna wear it every time I see her. Lol!

[@joaquingonzalez7504]

I think he regretted those 5 sprays later😂

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Haha! I shower after every review. So after 5 I’ve had five showers.

[@kavid8120]

@@AaronTerenceHughes do you know how to completely remove a scent from skin ??? Be serious

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

@@kavid8120 1: Put small amount of baby oil over the skin. Massage in. 2: apply baby shampoo on. 3: Apply water and foam off. 4: repeat the wash with baby shampoo. 5: Moisturise with unscented moisturiser.

[@IgnoranceAverse]

@@AaronTerenceHughes Interesting. May I ask why you don't like to wear fragrances?

[@Jakubjasik]

@@IgnoranceAverse Aaron literaly said he showers after reviews, most likely because he does not want to wear the reviewed perfume and wants to wear his own perfume of choice for the day.

[@VenAperderTuTiempo]

I love this fragance, long longevity and good cumpliment.

[@galinn76]

I watched a few of your reviews, I like how you reflect the aromas, I also like your objectivity. So a new subscriber. Regarding Red Tobacco, I have a large 120 ml bottle and I don't think one life is enough to run out. Only two sprays last 20 hours, even after two showers. The aroma is very beautiful, especially when the opening is over and the dry part remains. Greetings!

[@flightgravity7483]

I’ve had several decants of this and I finally got a full bottle yesterday. I absolutely love it, and smelling it brings me back to the early ‘80s being around my dad when he smoked a pipe and wore Lagerfeld. It triggers tons of nostalgia for me. Mancera in general are a very solid niche house. High quality fragrances that are very affordable.

[@flightgravity7483]

@@daniell5740 Yes that’s what I said. If you disagree I’m curious to hear why.

[@paulm5441]

​@@flightgravity7483 Because this is just a cheap chemical nuclear bomb. I don't know how a so-called perfumer can stand this shameful concoction. Montale is a hack and a disgrace to perfumery.

[@ramoneregal8317]

The fact a perfumer appreciates this maybe should make you appreciate your perception is subjective.A lot of people think a niche fragrances need to be 150 plus to be good maybe just maybe you are being overcharged.

[@fitfiz]

This is not for a beginner. Take note. This is for someone that liking uniqueness and beastly mode. Projector

[@storkonstage]

In the dry down this one shines. Really warm, woody, tobacco vanilla. And the pouch is handy for travelling and it keeps the frag dark and safe when stashed. My only doubt about Mancera is the use of phthalates. That's a fixative that gives the perfume extra longevity. Excellent review as always!👌

[@Robbyfrags90]

Aaron you can get the 120ml now for about $75-80 so at that price its fantastic! Love this fragrance

[@wildcathaulingwildcathauli8122]

I'm subscribed, and I really love your reviews. This is my first and favorite Niche fragrance. I absolutely love and adore this fragrance. When I really want to make a presence, this is my fragrance of choice. Thanks for all you do with presenting fragrances to the world from a makers' point of view. I've Never heard a fragrance reviewer say Red Tobacco can be a signature scent. To me, this is a sign. I'll wear it more often.

[@herbert4851]

Thank you Aaron, your review made me purchase this as my first niche. Before even spraying I was intimidated with many reviewers complaining about the opening. But my bottle is beautiful right from opening to the eternal dry down. After 6 months it gets even better and smoother, richer. I wonder if others have non-genuine bottles. Mine is screw cap, hv checked on the bottle and packaging weight for authenticity. I really enjoy the incense and heavenly vanilla with light tobacco. I only hv a small collection of 20 fragrances or so, have tried around 100 decants of mostly niche, and Red Tobacco’s is up there with Naxos, Reflection Man, old batch Layton, Gisada Ambassador intense in terms of boldness, projection, longevity, most important is my enjoyment and how I feel when wearing it the whole day. Last many days on clothes, more than 16 hours on skin. I prefer this over Carlisle, but there is time and place for both. Tropical weather mostly above 90 deg, mainly in air conditioned environment. I imagine this is even better in winter, as it generate warmth on skin when I spray under my shirt. Beautiful balsamic incense vanilla continuously wafting and projecting, love this.

[@DavidGarcia-zu3hl]

Always appreciate your reviews. I enjoy Red Tobacco, it's a banger solo. And playing on the gourmand aspects it is easy to layer, whether playing up the pear or apple, or adding cherry, or even introducing a small amount of chocolate. Love RT.

[@markperkins9445]

I have been ordering a shit ton of samples lately. I know I know retail therapy and all. The first thing I do when I pick what frag to wear I look to see if there is an ATH review. Why yes Aaron, I have my sample of Mancera Red Tobacco. I am engaged with my higher self. Let's get testing.

[@i.d.2261]

I love Cedrat Boise by Mancera. I heard of Red Tobacco and got interested in how it would smell like. Thank you very much for reviewing it.

I'm wearing RT right now and I love love love it! I'm rotating through a number of samples but so far I can def see this becoming my signature fragrance! It lasts really well too, I'm getting an easy 8+ hours with good projection. I like that its spicy and sweet but not TOO sweet.

[@wayne1318]

I love how you review fragrances, always look forward to your opinion on scents. I got a free sample of Red Tobacco when I bought another fragrance, and the moment I sprayed it I knew I needed a full bottle, and the more it settled and dried the better the scent. It lasts forever on clothes...can usually still smell it on my jacket a day or two later.

[@saram806]

[@Carlitosway2369]

Wow you liked it right off the initial first sprays lol. I just got it delivered a few days ago and when i first sprayed it I was like is this really what it smells like? Did someone replace the juice with WD-40 or something? I’m not kidding when saying that. But bc I was busy with work etc. I’ve been sitting on it and I kept smelling a beautiful lingering Tobacco scent in my place. I was like is that gorgeous smell I keep getting a whiff of Red Tobacco? So I sprayed it one last time and waited for this dry down that everyone keeps talking about and just like a magic trick abracadabra, it became that beautiful tobacco scent! So now I’m keeping it! Love how professional you are in your videos.

[@Gojo2OP]

Aaron is the only fragrance reviewer I trust with my life 🔥

[@ryansaadat7762]

You’ve gotta review Brivida Della Cacia by Argos Perfumes. I had never felt that tingling feeling you described until I smelled it. It might be personal preference, but it wowed me like no fragrance ever has. If you get his sample pack for £35, it includes that one and Triumph of Bachus, which might be more down your alley, as a boozy, super complicated oriental tobacco fragrance. Keep up the great work sir. Congratulations on the growth on your channel!

[@porousdumasia3256]

I agree Aaron this is not only value for money but a very evolving fragrance and the drydown is amazing. Have owned it since last year i tend to overspray it as i love it but then get nose blind.

[@benjamingarcinuno6475]

if I could use only one fragrance for life, I would choose this one for sure. Relatively cheap, lasts every day and smells absolutely mind-blowing for my nose

[@YouCanChangeYourWorldToday]

I would too, but it’s not pleasing in hot weather. It gives me headaches and it’s cloy. Perfect for cold weather tho. All I need is 2 fragrances for life, one for hot weather and one for cold weather ! Red Tobacco is my signature scent for cold weather.

Good afternoon Aaron from USA, enjoyed your take on Manceras' Red Tobacco, GOD BLESS

[@omomo202]

I’m glad you’re reviewing Mancera. Their packaging/bottles are what made me hesitate to try them as they seem cheap to me too! How you communicate the notes is what goes through my head when I smell something new! I’m a very excitable person but you put into words what I could never! Bravo!

[@tstststst173]

The box and bags are soooo tacky. I don’t know why they couldn’t use simple cotton

[@faddyie]

There are brands who sell niche perfumes with simple packaging. I think that is done to keep the cost lower so it could reach out to a wider audience for a better price. An excellent packaging is expected for a niche perfume but I like the hybrid version as well where juice is niche but packaging is simple.

[@MrJocky82]

I've just received my delivery of this, and on first impression, it really reminds of Acqua di Parma Oud, which I love. Yes I think this blind buy has been worth the risk.

Cough syrup, wet dense tobacco and cinnamon. Unsure if I can always handle it on myself but the sillage is sensational, I always comment when I smell this on other people so I think that the sillage is where the real magic is rather than snorting it on the skin up close, which is exactly what Josephine at Jus de Rose says about Miller Harris's 'Scherzo'. I dislike it but something magical happens in the sillage with that one too and I have the same experience with it as she does. For tobacco-forward fragrances, which I love, Red Tobacco is nowhere near my top ten.
