Smoke Show

Very interesting first impression; in the bottle I can smell the leather and rose...but there's also something there that smells almost like white tea. And then a strange bitter metallic note as well. On the skin it softens; supple leather, smoke, and some heat from the pink pepper. Reminds me a little of Lubin by Idole, which shares some notes, but much more subtle. Really good if you want a lighter, day-time leather based fragrance; something to spray on your coats and gloves in the winter.

I posted a scathing review of this when I first got it. I think the molecules just needed to settle in my sample. I have just revisited it for use as my boyfriend’s fragrance. When I first got smoke show, it had a next level vinyl flooring smell. Maybe I was just having a newbie reaction the oud. I now smell everything in the pyramid and it smells beautiful. Oud/cedar leather/vetiver accords mainly, supported by subtle florality. Unisex, but I see it better as a masculine scent. FB worthy.

Received a surprise sample of this today and I'm not sure if they're saying the perfume smells like a smoke show or you become one by wearing it but OH MY GOD WHAT A STUNNER. Leather and smoke and incense whip right up into a sultry boudoir with oud and rose to seal the deal. I moved this to my "must have" list with a quickness and once all these lockdowns are a thing of the past I fully plan on weaponizing myself with this baby and setting a spell or two.

I love this one. Another winner by Jerome Epinette. I wasn't surprised to see he was the perfumer. I always seem to like his creations. This is a really well done Smoky perfume. Great blend. A tiny bit sweet and very unisex. A lot of Smoky perfumes just smell like smoke to me. This one is complex and manages to be Smoky perfume, not just a perfume that smells like smoke. Well done!

Beautiful blend! Gorgeous!!! Take Haltane by PDM and put MFK's OUD in the base with better quality safron and some neutral rose - and you got it. Very versatile, exquisite! Great longevity, average performance and excellent silage. Not sure why people claim this is similar to Encre Noire, other than earthy vetiver being used to support the oud ...
