SmokyWhat does Passage d'Enfer smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick autumn, with spring and winter close behind. It is chosen most for leisure and daytime, and it also gets votes for work and evenings. Voters read it as both feminine and masculine, with no clear split between the two.
Rose and ginger give it a fresh, lightly spicy opening. In the heart, lily, frankincense and oud come forward, and the floral side takes on a resinous, smoky edge. In the base, sandalwood, benzoin, cedar and white musk soften it and settle it onto a woody ground.
