What does Smoked Bloom (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with Italian bergamot and bay leaf, then moves into osmanthus absolute and apricot, which give it a creamy, sweet floral-fruit character. A touch of spice and smoke settles into the base of Hawaiian sandalwood, Java vetiver absolute and white musk, leaving a woody finish.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin without filling a room, though the vote counts are small and these ratings are tentative. It reads neither masculine nor feminine. Diva Rouge and Widian Luban have a close profile.
