What does Bloody Smoke smell like?

It opens with mineral and metallic notes beside elemi resin, while jasmine and lily of the valley soften that hard edge. The heart brings tonka bean and frankincense forward, and the base settles into myrrh, sandalwood, musk, vanilla and ambergris. Spicy, woody and earthy accords keep the sweetness in the background.

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as good. Most pick autumn and winter, and leisure and evening wear lead the occasions. Most voters read it as masculine, though it is unisex. Ojar Encens Cuivre and Lorenzo Pazzaglia Incenso Notturno have a close profile.
