What does Smoke for the Soul smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring is not far behind, and it is recommended mostly for evenings and leisure time. It reads as masculine.

Thyme, cardamom and fir balsam come through first, while cashmere wood and birch build a woody, smoky base. Tobacco warms that base, and blue gum eucalyptus and grapefruit add a fresh, green lift. The spicy and earthy accents deepen the scent without making it harsh.
