What does Orange Smoke smell like?

It opens with mandarin orange, petitgrain and neroli, bright and fruity. In the heart, jasmine, frankincense and orange blossom bring a sweet, creamy softness, while the resinous, smoky edge of frankincense keeps the sweetness in check. Myrrh and musk form the base, and the scent dries down warm and smooth.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters recommend it for spring and summer, and it is mentioned most for leisure, daily wear and the office. Masculine and feminine votes are almost even, so it reads as truly unisex. Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Flora Nerolia and Evody Fleur d'Oranger have a close profile.
