Sensual Instinct vs Red Tobacco

Sensual Instinct is widely praised for its beautiful warm vanilla-woody profile and impressive performance, but the community emphasizes it is an extremely potent fragrance that requires minimal application (1-2 sprays maximum). Many users report it can overwhelm others and cause headaches, making it important to underapply or wear it away from scent-sensitive people.

Red Tobacco is praised for outstanding longevity and performance, with a beautiful warm, sweet drydown that improves significantly after the harsh opening. However, the community is divided on projection strength and questions the quality of the tobacco note itself, with many suggesting superior alternatives exist. It works best for those willing to tolerate a rough opening in exchange for all-day wear.
