SmokyWhat does The Bee's Knees (Perfume) smell like?
Osmanthus, honey and neroli form the bright, floral side, with petitgrain and orange blossom lifting it slightly. Against them sit tobacco, hay, smoky notes and earthy notes, while the sensual skin accord leaves a warm, animalic trace. The overall impression is sweet, spicy and woody.
Voters rate both longevity and sillage as good. Most pick fall and winter, and it leans towards leisure and evening wear. Feminine and masculine votes are close, so it sits comfortably on either side. Gritti Noctem Arabs and Tom Ford Tobacco Oud have a close profile.
