The House of Amouage is delighted to announce that Opus XIV – Royal Tobacco of the Library Collection, was named Indie Fragrance of the Year at the 2023 Fragrance Foundation Awards Luncheon, highlighting the successful independent creative path that Amouage has been crafting for close to four decades.

Composed for the House of Amouage by independent perfumer Cécile Zarokian and launched in 2022, Opus XIV – Royal Tobacco is a daring, lavish, deep, and modern fragrance that exemplifies Amouage's commitment to uncompromising artistic direction in perfumery as well as to the highest quality craftsmanship. A multi-award-winning fragrance, Opus XIV – Royal Tobacco has been previously awarded at ScentXplore in the United States, EXIPA in Mexico and at the Belgian Beauty Awards.

Royal Tobacco is a fragrant journey along the Tropic of Cancer from Oman to Cuba, connecting Royal Frankincense to Regal Tobacco. The perfume references the tradition of 'El Lector', whose role was to read to cigarmakers in Cuban factories, captivating them with riveting novels like Les Misérables by Victor Hugo and works by Honoré de Balzac, Stendhal, Edgar Allan Poe or Herman Melville until it became an honored ritual as synonymous with the rolling floor as the scent of tobacco. The unique accord consists of Royal Frankincense oil and Tobacco Absolute, weaving two iconic treasures of both regions into a rich sensory experience.
