What does La Fumée Alexandrie smell like?
Most voters pick autumn, then winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters read it as masculine and feminine in almost equal measure, so it sits comfortably between the two.
It opens with cinnamon, Egyptian cumin, Italian mandarin orange and lychee, pairing spice with fruit. The heart of frankincense absolute, Turkish damask rose absolute and Egyptian geranium turns floral and resinous, and the base of birch, oud, sandalwood and amber leaves a woody, smoky warmth.
