What does White Smoke smell like?

The notes read as one whole: Turkish tobacco and oud lay a woody, smoky base, vanilla and Siam benzoin sweeten it, and cinnamon leaf adds spice. Roman chamomile, geranium and orris absolute bring a soft floral touch, while the oriental and resinous side of the accords leads.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening, leisure and night-out wear leading. It leans slightly masculine, though a sizeable share of voters call it feminine. Its profile is close to Jovoy Psychédélique and Mendittorosa Id.
