Intense Cedrat Boise vs Red Tobacco

Intense Cedrat Boise is well-regarded by the community for its strong performance and longevity, but initial performance varies significantly based on storage conditions and batch maceration. The fragrance performs best in cooler climates and air-conditioned environments, with performance degrading substantially in hot, humid weather. Allowing the bottle to macerate for a month can improve its characteristics considerably.

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.
