Hot dough and smoke with spices
[short review]
This Arabic smoke, together with Étui Noir, make a portentous Miller Harris duo.
1- La Fumée Arabie opens with warm, woody, deep cistus seasoned with fleshy and deep cumin. I happen to love cumin both in my perfumes and in my cooking.
2 - Then smoked incense becomes prominent, 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 dry down 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 a little by mentioning the aromas of hot dough and smoke with spices, this perfume always 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 incense smoke coming from a fireplace. Perhaps only one slice of this Christmas cake is not the right amount.
In short, it is a hot, sensual fragrance, and more masculine than a unisex perfume. But it is a season's greeting scent as well. It really fills me up :-)
Merry Christmas to everybody!
