Which Should You Buy?
Smoking Hot is a divisive beast: some hail it a masterpiece of fruity tobacco, while others find it a cloying, synthetic apple shisha. It's bold, alluring, and definitely not for shrinking violets.
Spice Smoke chases By Kilian Smoking Hot, the cult apple-hookah tobacco. The smoky baked-apple-and-cinnamon opening over warm tobacco vanilla is captured well, but Perfume Parlour's smoke reads more synthetic and the gourmand sweetness simpler than the layered, balsamic Kilian.

Its potent projection and intense sweetness make it far too overpowering for an office setting. It truly shines on a date or for evening events, with its alluring and seductive character, but can be a bit much for everyday casual wear due to its strength.
