Between knowledge and aesthetic pleasure, Opus XIV – Royal Tobacco is a fragrant journey along the tropic of cancer, from Oman to Cuba, linking royal incense to royal tobacco. The perfume refers to the tradition of El Lector, whose role was to read to cigar makers in Cuban factories, captivating them with fascinating novels like Les Miserables by Victor Hugo and works by Honoré de Balzac, Stendhal, Edgar Allan Poe or Herman Melville until it became a ritual honored as synonymous with the rolling floor like the smell of tobacco. Interpreted by renowned perfumer Cécile Zarokian, a unique accord of incense and tobacco bursts alive in a new and rich sensory experience.
