What does Hold My Pipe smell like?

Tobacco absolute, tar, smoke and gun powder give it a dry, smoky frame. Labdanum, Peru balsam and tonka bean soften that edge with resinous sweetness, while wine and vermouth add a fruity note. Oakmoss and peat bring an earthy, slightly green depth.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Voters choose it mostly for evenings, leisure time and nights out, with office wear far behind. Masculine and feminine votes are equal, so it sits in between. Anna Zworykina Fire by Fire and Robert Piguet Bois Noir have a close profile.
