Alfred Dunhill Egyptian Smoke is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Jérôme Epinette. Egyptian Smoke opens with Pink Pepper, Ginger, and Tea, settles into a heart of Papyrus, Cacao Pod, Rose, and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Palo Santo, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Alfred Dunhill's Egyptian Smoke carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a divisive brew; a dark, jammy rose tea with a smoky undercurrent. Some find it a masterpiece of masculine rose and exotic wood, others a sickly, overwhelming, or simply faint, diluted disappointment. Definitely not a blind-buy, despite the solid price point.

Its rich, woody, and sweet profile makes it more suited for cooler weather and evening wear, particularly dates and formal events.

About

Opens with a spicy kick of ginger and pink pepper, intertwined with a robust black tea accord. A rich, jammy rose unfurls in the heart, nestled among dry papyrus and a subtle cacao whisper, all underscored by sweet tobacco. The base settles into a warm embrace of patchouli, vanilla, and the unique, clean smoke of palo santo.
