SmokyWhat does Le participe passé smell like?
The fruity notes set the sweetness, while the resins and balsam ground it in a woody, oriental, earthy base. The scent moves as a single block, its fruity sweetness softened by a spicy, smoky warmth underneath.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen more for evenings and nights out. Votes split between masculine and feminine, so it suits either. Serge Lutens Fille en aiguilles and Goti Essenze Smoke have a close profile.
