Ritual

Completely blown away. I can smell the cinnamon and rose and maybe the neroli but to my nose this has a very strong almost minty camphor accord. On my skin it smells like noxzema only better. It gets kinda soapy but the spiceyness of it persists. In the dry down the patchouli becomes the dominant note but it's very smooth and softly earthy. It's the best patchouli I've ever smelled and I'm usually not a huge fan. If patch smelled like this all the time I'd bathe in it. It's crazy no one else has written about this, it's so good. Sillage is decent and longevity is good too. At least 6-7 hrs. Addendum: This stuff is addictive. Its energizing and comforting simultaneously. I put myself on a buying ban and when this juice crossed my path I caved. I need a full bottle......cha ching! Done. Full bottle, on it's way home to mamma. Edit may 2020 almost a year after writing and acquiring this scent that the camphor I smell in the opening is indeed the patchouli. It's still glorious. This juice is a monster. I spritz and you're good for 10 hrs guaranteed. It lasts on textiles for days. Sillage is arms length for about 4 hours. It draws attention and receives comments, good and bad. So use with caution.

This is a straightforward patchouli-rose perfume. The patchouli is that wonderfully earthy, head shop patchouli (my favorite!), and the rose is that rich, vibrant rose that makes itself known but does not shout over the other notes. A while into the drydown I start to get a sweet cinnamon note that comes in at a low volume and blends smoothly into the patchouli-rose chorus. **EDIT** The cinnamon leaf eventually becomes quite dominant, this isn't a bad thing but I didn't notice until I'd worn it a few times. I never can isolate the neroli listed in the notes but I feel its buoyant presence in the background cheering me on. Simply put, I love this perfume! **ANOTHER EDIT** Someone suggested to me that this smells like Vicks VapoRub so now all I smell is rosy VapoRub.

This smells like almost exactly like tiger balm to me and I love it. It lasts 12+ hours on my skin. My go-to fall and winter perfume.

I'm a huge fan of niche perfume that's different, gorgeous, sexy, and doesn't smell like anything else. I cannot remember how I found Smoke and their small repertoire of scents, but I'm so glad I did. Ritual is exactly as described - a warm, spicy neroli-rose floral backed by a woody dry down. On me it lasts forever -- like nearly 24 hours forever. It smells like a very expensive perfume, very sexy, very luxurious, but clocks in at a reasonable $95. This was a blind buy for me based on the fragrance notes. So many people ask what I'm wearing when I have it on.
