Tobacco Rush

I will return to review this further once this has had the chance to macerate. So, first impressions. The tobacco is a photo-realistic one of either the most pleasant snuff unchewed or smelling a nice cigar before lighting up. The tobacco is strong at first, but it's accompanied with some nice sweetness to give it balance. Now, to my nose, this actually sweetens up more in the mid. The drydown is where this gets a bit darker. The tobacco is there the whole time and the oud doesn't distract from the overall scent...this one just adds some woody depth and I have to be careful with oud as I'm still forming a palate for it. I'm a big fan of tobacco based frags and this one definitely scratches the itch. Now, the reason I will return to update because I don't think this juice is punching quite the way others are describing it. Currently, it's projecting several feet for the first hour, but it's turning into a skin scent after about 5 hours. I sprayed this morning and 7 hours later it's still here, which is very good because this will get stronger. I know this could be divisive towards those that don't dig strong tobacco, but I love this scent DNA to the point where I don't care lol. This is one of those I'll wear for my personal enjoyment. Scent: 9/10 Projection: 8/10 Silage: 7.5/10 Longevity: 8/10 (will update after maceration) Seasons: Fall and Winter Who (purely subjective): Masculine, 30 year olds + Price: 10/10 Overall: 9/10 Update 11/22/2023: This has only gotten better since the initial impressions. It's more well-rounded. The tobacco smells like an unlit cigar, like the tobacco inside one of those. The sweet notes and spices does well in pairing with that tobacco. This is sticking to skin longer, and may continue to do so. Projection and longevity are great. After the 4 hour mark, this sits closer, but not a skin scent until the tail end of the journey. This lasts about 10+ hours on my skin...I don't spray this on clothes because I'll end up smelling that for days. I accidently sprayed this on my shirt this past Sunday (4 days ago) and I can still smell it pretty strongly. So, beware of spraying on clothing. Beware of your sprays if you're in temperate to hot climates and if you're wearing this indoors. Overall, I love this stuff! Again, big fan of tobacco notes. I have nothing like this in my "mini" collection, so I'm pleased. Scent: 10/10 Projection: 10/10 Silage: 9/10 Longevity: 13/10 (after maceration) Seasons: Fall and Winter Who (purely subjective): Masculine, 30 year olds + Price: 10/10 Overall: 10/10

Reviewed after full 10 months ageing. After allowing Afnan Tobacco Rush to mature for 10 months, the fragrance has undergone a remarkable transformation. The initial sharpness has mellowed, revealing a smoother, more rounded profile. The tobacco note, once bold and assertive, has softened into a more subdued, sweetened scent. It's reminiscent of aged tobacco leaves, their natural sweetness enhanced by time, without becoming cloying. A subtle cedarwood accord has emerged, adding depth and complexity to the composition. This woody note intertwines seamlessly with the tobacco, creating a harmonious balance that was less apparent in the initial stages. In the opening, the tobacco note is prominent, enveloping me in its deep, aromatic presence. This is complemented by woody accords that add depth and complexity. During the transition phase the intensity of the tobacco softens, revealing a more subdued sweetness that's not overpowering but adds a layer of warmth and comfort. The texture becomes noticeably powdery, lending a soft, velvety feel to the scent. This transformation adds a sensual quality to the jus. During the dry down the cedarwood introduces a subtle woody nuance, enhancing depth. The overall effect is warm and sensual, with the powdery texture persisting. The overall experience is one of warmth and sophistication, with the maturation process enhancing the fragrance's depth and longevity.

Nose Note #915 I was staying away from this for long thinking it might be too similar to Red Tobacco (which I love, I just didn't need a clone). Now that I've run out of it almost I bought this. Oh man, what a pleasant pleasant surprise. First, this is very different to Red Tobacco, it won't work as a substitute, not even close, it's just a different tobacco scent with different spices, different sweet notes. I also have Black Incense Malaki and Al Areeq Silver - well... It sort of has the vibes of Black Incense Malaki, but ultimately it's very different and it's a tobacco scent first and foremost. Al Areeq Silver - very far away, that scent is super leathery and poopy. Tobacco Rush is just beautiful. Everything about it is well done. Ultramasculine. Very very strong - as strong as Red Tobacco. Great sillage. I think this is an amazing scent and it's not even debatable if you want to get serious. All you have to do is smell the truly crappy perfumes that are trying to do the same thing and smell this... Not for faint of heart and unexperienced noses! 9/10, worth every cent. I can't imagine how Mystery Tobacco can be better than this

Probably the most affordable tobacco-heavy fragrance on the market right now. And what a bang for your buck. Still pricy for an Afnan but extremely cheap for a tobacco scent. Sure, there are a few cheapies that have tobacco notes in them but if you want to satiate a real tobacco-lover, or you are tobaccurious, you should start here. It's more of a mishmash of other popular fragrances than a direct clone of anything, ultimately making it pretty unique. It starts with a strong dry tobacco leaf note that stays in the drydown. Others have said that it has some leathery notes and I agree, though it's not overly strong. It has a bit of a sweetnes, but it's not a sweet tobacco fragrance like Red Tobacco. It's a dry tobacco that has sweet notes. Like eating a sugar cube with dark chocolate, if that makes sense. Ultimately gives a kind of 60's mobster vibes in a good way. It has a good 8-10 hours staying power with pretty good sillage, not on Red Tobacco's level, but still, a few sprays will go a long way. Also, it's in no way unisex. Masculin as hell.

The tobacco accord is just wonderful. Wanted to buy red tobacco, but it's overly sweet for me. Maybe that's more unisex. Tobacco rush is masculine, presenting a ballanced, realistic tobacco, sweetened with some kind of dark chocolate, I get roasted coffee, vetiver, dry spices, maybe some leather... Great composition. I'm so glad there's no oud or smoke. Clean finish. Imagine tobacco vanille, completely without valille, with a real 10x boost on the tobacco. It doesn't make me wonder, or dream about stuff, it's not a fairytale with a long story... It's a mood. A long-lasting (8h+) vibe and it's so different in a world full of sauvage, aventus, phantoms, bakkarats, delinas - it's mature, serious and doesn't lie, . I would love it louder, but Afnan thought that this should be well-mannered. Maybe it's for the best. 10/10 - masculine tobacco fragrance, makes me sniff my wrist all the time, good performance, and surprisingly good quality for my nose, decent price and that's what I want for my fragrances to be like.

Really good scent! Considering the price - it is a 'must have' for those who like tobacco-ish fragrances! As the comparison is concerned I see a lot of people who find it close to Tobacco oud by Tom Ford. My humble opinion: it is way more sweeter and goes much closer to Red Tobacco (Mancera) while Tobacco oud is going (especially on and after the middle stages) to the Laudano Nero (Tiziana Terenzi) direction - more dry, less sweet almost sour, probably because of the Incense - Oud combo + some other ingredients. Back to Tobacco Rush - it has some leathery undertones which are quite interesting and give an additional interesting vibe, at least from my perspective. I don't detect the Lavender note (which I rarely like) it probably has a supporting role for the entire composition. To sum it up: it is one of those fragrances which push you to sniff your hand with pleasure hours after the application!

One of the better "Carlisle/Mystery Tobacco/Red Tobacco" smell. It is the same sweet warm spicy tobacco smell, however it has a beautiful oudy opening, that sets it apart. It dries down to become more powdery compared to the other 3. Having this if you have other similar scents, would be redundant, particularly one of the aforementioned big three. I love it but having CH Mystery Tobacco (which is my favorite from this olfactory line) deters me for buying it.

Basically a blend of a cigar humidor and the inside of a leather finished new luxury car. I dont really get spicy notes. Not that I miss them, this oozes with testosterone and from my experience tends to attract the more feminine ladies. Compliments I got range from smelling confident AF to smelling unf*ckwithable. The most masculine fragrance in my collection.

This is an interesting one, it reminds you of Mancera Red Tobacco in the opening but this feeling remains for a very few minutes. Immediately after it changes to the tobacco oud domain with some animalics and boy o boy what a scent it becomes. My only objection to this is that it doesnt project much. Tobacco lovers go for it

I normally agree with just the facts on most everything. I disagree that its similar to the reyanne. In my opinion they aren't similar at all aside from both of them having tobacco. This is a fantastic tobacco fragrance. Very strong and lasts a long time. Projects pretty well too. If you love tobacco then you'll like this.

DO NOT BLIND BUY this, it is NOT a clone of red tobacco, just the opening is similar. this is uber spicy masculine oud fragrance, one of the most daring fragrances by Afnan, lasts forever , winter only, must sample before you buy it 8.5/10 for the quality and packaging

Great Tobacco scent. Not as sweet as most Tobacco-heavy scents tend to be. Somwhere in between Tobacco Oud and CH Mystery Tobacco and Red Tobacco with the spice and dryness you'd get in Spirit of Dubai Meydan. Nixon Dias AKA Smelly Cat on YouTube.

Some says, it's close to Mancera's Red Tobacco. And no, they're not. On me, this fragrance has more spicy notes. And performance is superb! It last longer on my shirt. Even after two days! One of the best!

Straight off I noticed the clear similarities to Tobacco Oud/Oud Wood. Performance is decent but nothing special. Bottle is nice. Worth the $30-40 if you like the similar Tom Fords.

I've had this a month now i get way more oud than I did before. I love oud so it works for me. Also this fragrance is beast mode!

Amazing scent to my nose very close to chopard incense malaki, Amazing longevity and silage

Beast mode tobacco fragrance! Extremely masculine fall and winter scent. I give it 7.5/10

Nice Tobacco Fragrance From Afnan House .... Long Lasting really Great plus 12 hours

This is a clone of Mancera Red Tobacco, but less sweet and more masculine 10/10

This is a very interesting fragrance and I haven't seen it described anywhere really well in terms of what it smells like before I bought it. To me in the opening it smells like Mancera red tobacco, in the heart notes it smells like Cuoium by Orto Parisi and a faint hint of Terroni by OP. In the dry down it smells like Memoir Man by amoage. The tobacco in this gets progressively weaker as time goes on and this fragrance changes a lot. In the opening it's Tobacco with a bit of tonka sweetness and creaminess in the same vain as Red Tobacco /Carlisle then the fragrance becomes the most challenging because of the extreme spiciness and smokyness in the mid, here there is no sweetness at all just spice, smoke and leather (Cuoium/iberian leather like) than what's most surprising of all is that the sweetness returns in the dry down and you get this wormwood ambery incensy smell like what you get with Amouage memoir man, in the dry down this has 0% tobacco smell. Overall this is 3 fragrances bottled in one. All the fragrances this draws inspiration from aren't mass plesers and so this won't be either, for mme a 10/10 frag. This is not a red tobacco, this is much more challenging, it's also not at all like Gucci Guilty absolute ( the woodleather accord isn't here, and the dentol/band-aid smell isn't here, which is a shame). In this you get that Amouage feel, it doesn't smell like a clone of any of their fragnces but you experience the same feeling as if you were wearing some of amoage heavy hitters, being challenged by them and wearing them in confidence.
