SmokyWhat does Nostalgic Investigator smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are tentative. It has no gender lean and reads comfortably on anyone.
The notes are ginger, liqueur, cigarette and metal. Ginger brings a spicy warmth, while liqueur carries the sweet, fruity side. Cigarette and metal add a smoky, slightly sharp shadow, and the powdery and woody accords soften the mix.
