Royal Cigar -Inspired By Remy Latour Cigar

Main Accords: Fruity, Woody, Tobacco, Warm Spicy, Green

True to its name, Cigar is a fragrance that perfectly captures the scent of a sweet cigar humidor—imagine rich tobacco leaves, warm woods, and a medley of ripe fruits. Categorized as an aromatic fruity-woody scent, Cigar blends sweet and smoky elements with a nostalgic, masculine elegance.

Scent Notes:

🔹 Top Notes: Plum, Pineapple, Bergamot, Pear, Amalfi Lemon
A surprisingly fruity opening! The first spray greets you with a vibrant burst of sweet plum and juicy pineapple, giving the scent an almost candied fruit sensation. The bergamot and lemon add a quick, refreshing sparkle, preventing the sweetness from becoming overpowering. Despite its name, Cigar opens with a bright, fruity radiance before settling into its deeper layers.

🔹 Heart Notes: Bay Leaf, Marigold (Tagetes), Geranium, Jasmine (+ hints of spices)
As the initial fruity wave softens, Cigar unveils its herbal and floral heart. Bay leaf and marigold introduce a green, slightly spicy character—bay leaf, in particular, has a dry, leafy quality reminiscent of raw tobacco leaves. Geranium and jasmine add a refined floral touch, keeping the scent balanced between sweet, green, and spicy. At this stage, the fragrance feels like a fusion of dried fruits, earthy greens, and light florals, giving it a unique depth.

🔹 Base Notes: Tobacco, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Cedar, Musk
Here’s where Cigar truly shines! The dry-down is a warm, woody tobacco embrace—sweet pipe tobacco takes center stage, enriched by creamy sandalwood and robust cedar that create the classic humidor-like aroma. Patchouli deepens the composition with its signature earthy sweetness, blending seamlessly with the lingering fruity notes to create an almost boozy, aged tobacco effect. A hint of musk adds smoothness, making the scent comforting yet bold. The tobacco is never harsh—it’s more of a sweet, aromatic pipe tobacco rather than a smoky cigarette note.

Longevity & Performance:

💨 Longevity: 6-8+ hours (can last 12+ hours with generous application)
💥 Projection: Strong for the first few hours, then moderate but still noticeable
🌫️ Sillage: Moderate to heavy—expect to leave a warm, tobacco-fruity trail

For an Eau de Toilette (EDT), Cigar boasts impressive staying power. Many users report that it lingers well beyond 8 hours on skin and even longer on clothing, making it a fantastic all-day fragrance. It starts with a strong projection—an arm’s length for the first few hours—before settling closer to the skin while still being detectable. Expect compliments, as its warm, sweet-tobacco aura tends to draw people in.

Best Season to Wear:

🍂 Fall & Winter: The rich tobacco, sweet fruits, and woody warmth make Cigar ideal for cooler temperatures. The fragrance wraps you like a cozy spiced aroma on a crisp autumn evening.
🌙 Late Summer Nights: While too rich for hot summer days, Cigar can work beautifully on cool summer nights in air-conditioned environments—its fruity notes keep it playful.

If you love the smell of a gentleman’s study, filled with cigar smoke and aged woods, this fragrance is a must-have for colder months.

Best Occasions to Wear:

✔ Casual Nights Out – Perfect for a relaxed evening with friends, especially in a whisky or cigar lounge.
✔ Date Night – Its warm, inviting sweetness makes it appealing for intimate settings.
✔ Cozy Indoor Moments – Whether you’re reading a book by the fireplace or enjoying a quiet evening, Cigar feels like aromatherapy for tobacco lovers.
✔ Classic & Nostalgic Appeal – Think of it as a fragrance that bridges generations—a mature yet playful scent with a vintage charm.

It’s not your typical “club” fragrance or formal office scent, but it excels in moments where you want to feel suave, confident, and distinguished.

Final Thoughts – A Hidden Gem for Tobacco Lovers

Cigar by Rémy Latour lives up to its name—it’s a nostalgic, elegant tobacco fragrance that transports you straight into a cedar-lined humidor filled with sweet, aged cigars.

Its fruity opening, spicy-green heart, and deep tobacco-woody base create a scent that’s both intriguing and addictive. The plum, patchouli, and pipe tobacco combination gives it a boozy, spiced richness, making it stand out from other tobacco-based fragrances.

Despite its affordable price, Cigar performs like a high-end scent, often compared to classics like Aramis Havana or Thierry Mugler’s A*Men in its warm, sweet-earthy dry-down. It’s a no-brainer blind-buy for anyone who loves tobacco-fruity fragrances.

So, if you’re looking for a fragrance that feels like a well-aged cigar paired with dried fruits and rich woods, Cigar is your perfect match. 🍂🔥
