Opus XIV – Royal Tobacco
What Opus XIV – Royal Tobacco smells like
Black tobacco and ritualistic frankincense, evoking a secretive, velvet-draped sanctuary, for a silent, commanding presence after dark.
Feels like
Wisps of incense smoke curling through ancient stone · The rich aroma of unlit pipe tobacco · A sip of spiced rum by a crackling fire · Dust motes dancing in a shaft of light in a dark room · The scent of old, leather-bound books and polished wood · A dark, sweet licorice candy melting slowly
