SmokyWhat does Lovers and Strangers smell like?
It opens with prune, Colombian coffee, cade juniper and rum, a dark, lightly smoky and boozy sweetness. The heart brings rose, tobacco absolute, tonka bean absolute and Bourbon vanilla, turning warm, gourmand and spicy. The base of patchouli, sandalwood and amber settles into an earthy, woody and oriental finish. Its profile is close to Tom Ford Oud Fleur and Tom Ford Black Orchid (Eau de Parfum).
