What does Smoky Soul smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. It is chosen mostly for leisure and evening wear. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. It leans neither clearly masculine nor feminine, as votes split between the two.

It opens with Chinese osmanthus absolute and Indian black pepper, spicy and slightly fruity. In the heart, Turkish rose, Ceylon tea and Jasminum auriculatum absolute pull the floral side towards green. The base of French kelp absolute, Java vetiver and Indonesian patchouli is woody and earthy. Diptyque Kyoto and Moth and Rabbit Melancholia have a close profile.
