What does Pipe Bomb Blue smell like?

The notes read as one whole rather than a top, heart and base: cold metal and seawater give the freshness, while patchouli and frankincense lay down a woody, earthy and smoky ground. Violet and milk add a soft floral touch, and the synthetic and fruity accords bring a sharper, brighter edge.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It suits anyone who wants an unconventional character that sits comfortably on any skin. D.S. & Durga Vio-Volta and Savour Steel by Naim have a close profile.
