Smoke for the Soul
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This is a seriously polarising beast. Forget your usual crowd-pleasers; 1740 is a dark, leathery, boozy powerhouse that demands attention. You'll either adore its scandalous charm or recoil from its perceived mustiness. Definitely not for the shrinking violets.
Smoke for the Soul is a divisive, love-it-or-hate-it scent. Expect a polarising, unapologetically weed-forward statement that some will adore for its daring realism and others will flat-out detest. It's not for the faint of heart or those who prefer to blend in.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
With its beast mode performance and intensely dark, leathery accords, 1740 is too much for the office. It truly shines on a date or in formal evening settings, projecting a daring confidence that's less suited to casual daytime wear or anything active.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
This scent's very realistic and intense cannabis note, combined with moderate longevity and sillage, makes it inappropriate for office or formal settings where subtlety is key. It leans more towards casual or intimate date wear, allowing its unique character to be appreciated without causing offence, though its strong opening might still be too much for early dates.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Aromatic, Woody, Smoky accords and Birch, Cardamom notes
