SmokyWhat does Mama Was an Opium Smoker smell like?
The citrus brightness of mandarin meets the bite of black pepper at the start. In the heart, cocoa and Bourbon vanilla bring a gourmand sweetness that rests on a woody sandalwood base. Green and smoky touches temper the sugar and add a resinous depth, while the spicy and woody accords stay clearly present. Arte Profumi Velvet Rouge and Paris Corner Cognac Blaze have a close profile.
