SmokyWhat does Kashkha (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
It opens with bergamot, cinnamon and apple, a bright, sweet fruit note. Saffron, oud and cardamom form a spicy, smoky heart. The base settles into cedar, amber and musk, woody and warm.
Longevity and sillage are rated strong, though the vote count is small, so treat that as a rough guide. Voters also find it good value for money. Its profile is close to Saint Hilaire Private Black and Parfums de Marly Habdan.
