The review

Red Tobacco scores 6.9 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Red Tobacco.

Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Red Tobacco's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $23 it costs 89% less than Red Tobacco.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Palermo Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

Mancera Red Tobacco is cinnamon, oud and incense at first, patchouli and jasmine at its heart and tobacco, madagascar vanilla and amber at the end. Palermo Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • cinnamon
  • oud
  • incense

Heart

  • patchouli
  • jasmine

Base

  • tobacco
  • madagascar vanilla
  • amber
For the one who craves a warm, sweet cinnamon-and-tobacco powerhouse that projects boldly for hours and turns cold evenings into a statement.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
