SmokyWhat does Egyptian Smoke smell like?
Most voters pick winter and fall, with night outs and evenings leading the occasions. Its longevity and sillage are rated good, and most voters read it as masculine and classic.
It opens with black tea, pink pepper and ginger for a spicy first impression. In the heart, papyrus and Grasse rose add a soft floral touch. The base of labdanum, vanilla, patchouli and Palo Santo settles into a sweet, resinous, woody warmth. Simone Andreoli Sentosa and Goutal Ambre Sauvage Absolu have a close profile.
