What does Smoke smell like?

The notes read as a single whole rather than a top, heart and base. Cade juniper and cedarwood form a dry, smoky backbone; aldehydes add a fresh, slightly synthetic brightness, and elemi resin brings a resinous warmth. Green, spicy and powdery tones stay in the background, with a leathery shadow and a touch of sweetness rounding it out.

Longevity and sillage are rated as good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It sits comfortably between masculine and feminine.
