Monarch Red Tobacco Vanilla

Shockingly close to Red Tobacco. I got my bottle in 2023 and it had absolutely nuclear performance right from the first spray. Really great but for only $15. I like it but I have to be in a very particular mood to wear it (same for the OG). There are a lot of Red Tobacco adjacent frags I prefer to wear when I'm in that mood. They nailed it on this one. Milestone/Camara/Mirada (all the same brand) are really hit or miss, and the knocked it out of the park on this one!

Definitely the best thing about this fragrance is the dry down. It starts with a harsh strong woody-tobacco scent, smells a bit rubbery but after 1-2 hours the tobacco and woods tone down and it turns into this beautiful sweet tobacco creamy and powdery scent, the vanilla starts to show up and it just smells incredible. performance wise, I get about 7-8 hours of longevity with strong projection for the first 2 hours final rating: 7/10

Very close to the original, 90-95% imo, missing the subtle cherry nuance and a bit of fruitiness. Less complexity than the original. Compared side by side you can tell the difference, but if you met someone wearing this you'd think it was the original. If you dont have the money for the original, this is a no brainer purchase. FYI i own the original, and bought it after purchasing this, very pleased with the dupe.

At first it smells like a red leather chesterfield chair.. and then it smells like a motorbike shed.. It's warm, oily and spicy.. even chocolate'y.. I love it i think.. The box, the bottle, and the atomizer, the lid are all sweet! (to say it's a £15 dupe)

This smells like a much less intense version of Red Tobacco Intense. Pretty much everything is there, but this is a smoother and gentler experience. Not bad for the price!
