What does Veneno smell like?

Cinnamon, apple and smoke lead at the top, the fruity freshness of the apple warmed by the cinnamon. Tobacco and moss sit in the heart, while Orcanox and Bourbon vanilla in the base sweeten the scent and settle it into a resinous, oriental warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter not far behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and also finds a place in daily wear. Kilian Smoking Hot and Kajal Fiddah have a close profile.
