Hot dough and smoke with spices
[short review]
This "Arabian Smoke", together with Etui Noir, make a fateful Miller Harris duo.
1- La "Fumée Arabie" opens with warm, woody, deep cistus seasoned with a fleshy and deep cumin. I happen to love cumin both in my perfumes and in my cookings.
2 - Then smoked incense becomes proeminent, unveiling a woody scent with hints of oud, some burnt rubber and some spicy smoky ash. The scent is sweetened by a touch of vanilla.
3 - The drydown is quite long, very smooth and seductive as hell.
Performance is above average. The projection is reasonable. Some caution is needed with the trigger because not everyone enjoys company smelling too much of oud, incense and smoky ashes.
I highlight this review with a little mentioning the aromas of hot dough and smoke with spices, This perfume allways brings to my imagination the scent of a Christmas dried fruit cake slice, with whirls of cinnamon and cloves, and of course, with a woody and incensy smoke comming from fireplace. Perhaps only one slice of this Christmas cake is not the right ammount.
In short, it is hot, sensual fragrance, and more masculine than an unisex perfume. But it is a season's greeting scent as well. It really fills me up :-)
Merry Christmas to everybody!
