Folkwinds · 2023

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Folkwinds Smuggler's Notch is a sweet, smoky unisex scent built around Vietnamese oud, cigar and American oak; it has been discontinued.

Apple, grass and barley malt add a fruity, green, grainy softness to the rougher texture, and the animal and earthy accords deepen the darker side. Sweet, spicy and woody tones lead. Folkwinds Crimson and Clover and Bortnikoff Tabac Doré have a close profile.

Holiday Fir

7.5

Lost Tribe · 2023

Fresh · Green · Spicy

Smoke Oud I

OM Parfum · 2024

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Patchouli, cedarwood and Australian sandalwood lay a woody floor, and the resinous, earthy and leathery accords round out a dense, dark character.
