What does Burning Piano (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Sandalwood and leather lead, while smoked maple adds a smoky edge. Iris and rose soften the floral side, and copper brings a synthetic, metallic note. Spicy and resinous accords deepen the character.

Most voters recommend fall and winter, with leisure and evening wear leading. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though from a small number of votes. It is labelled unisex, but voters lean towards a masculine reading. Vilhelm Parfumerie Smoke Show and Amouage Myths Man have a close profile.
