What does Rook (2018) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong, though that rests on only a few votes. It is dense and heavy, so it suits people who like a warm, deep fragrance. It has been discontinued.

The top notes of smoke, ginger, cardamom and frankincense give a spicy, resinous opening. Oud, tobacco, violet and gaiac wood form a woody, smoky heart. In the base, ambergris, civet, castoreum and vetiver finish it in a leathery, earthy, animalic tone. Rook Perfumes Rook (2020) and Nishane Afrika-Olifant have a close profile.
