What does Smoking Hot smell like?

It opens with apple, shisha tobacco and cinnamon, where fruity brightness quickly gives way to spice and smoke. In the heart, oakmoss and Kentucky tobacco absolute add a woody depth. In the base, orcanox and Bourbon vanilla sweeten it, bringing out the gourmand and oriental side.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and summer is rarely chosen. Evenings and nights out lead, while office wear is seldom picked. Voters lean towards reading it as masculine, though it stays unisex. Lattafa Mashrabya and Parfums de Marly Herod have a close profile.
