Cella Bio is more of an Italian citrus cologne scent. Orange-bergamot-pepper-musk type thing.
TOBS creams about to be discontinued

I'm excited to see what they come out with next, too! Tobacco Leaf is very nice (if TOBS were one of those informal-in-style artisan makers, perhaps they would have called it TOBSbacco Leaf 
). Still haven't tried Lime Zest.
However, I heard Royal Forest is a clone of Aventus (not sure if this is truly accurate). If accurate, I'm not sure how pineapple, vanilla, and musk smell like an English forest, but if that's the case, I am just a little disappointed to see a venerable company like TOBS cloning something like Creed instead of creating a new and original great scent like their others.

Is there any other brand or make of cream/soap you might compare it to, even if ballpark?
Take the cedar note down about 5 notches in D.R. Harris's Windsor, and that might get close.
I don't wear cologne and know nothing about Aventus, but Royal Forest is one of my top 2 favorite TOBS scents. The other is Grapefruit.

Well I'm glad to hear that.
Can you give us your evaluation of what it smells like?

It has a rich kind of piney woody smell to me.
What you'd expect a Royal Forest to smell like.

I've seen the opinion repeated many times that it is, accidentally or otherwise, an Aventus clone but I've never tried it myself yet so can neither confirm nor deny.
TOBS Royal Forest is inspired by Creed Aventus, not an exact clone. It has elements / some scent notes of Aventus with a more dominant woody presence. It’s quite enjoyable as it’s not the same thing every other guy you pass in the mall smells like. I’ve used or smelled a half dozen of the Aventus clones (Spartacus, Sellout, Trinity, Executive Man, Doppelgänger Grey, Fine Platinum and SV Opuntia) and Royal Forest is different from the others as some of them are different (slightly or more) from each other, but can still pick up some of the elements of Aventus in Royal Forest but with the more dominant Woods. FWIW I’ve never smelled the actual Aventus fragrance so can’t say how close any of them are to the original.
Oh okay, I was worried it would be Sandalwood and riots would ensue 
I too hope that this means they are bringing Shaving Shop back, it had a classic scent. Sad to see Avacado go, guess I need to order a tub or two.
Have a tub of TOBS Avacado on the way.
pity!
TOBS failed to mention that no.50 has been discontinued, too. Does anybody know what it smells like?
I like Taylor’s platinum it’s one of their slickest soap in my opinion and the scent lasts a long time.
Practically a clone of Jermyn Street, ime.
I am saddened by this, TOBS Avocado was one of the first I used and continue to buy. I understand the criticism of it not really smelling like avocado or having Avocado in the ingredients but I still find it to work well with a nice light scent.
TOBS Avocado smells like roses.
