What does Smoky smell like?

It opens with plum, peach and bergamot for a fruity sweetness, lifted slightly by citrus notes. In the heart, honey and smoke take over, with oriental notes adding a spicy, resinous warmth. The base of tobacco, white tobacco and amber settles into a woody, gourmand finish.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is chosen more for evenings and nights out. It mostly reads masculine, though it remains unisex. Dior Tobacolor and Franck Boclet Tobacco have a close profile.
