Egyptian Smoke

by Jérôme Epinette

Alfred Dunhill Egyptian Smoke is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Jérôme Epinette. Egyptian Smoke opens with Tea, Ginger, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Rose, Cacao Pod, Papyrus, and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Palo Santo, Tonka Bean, and Vanilla. 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. While some report good longevity and sillage, reviews are mixed on projection, suggesting a more intimate wear for daily use and limiting its office appeal due to its distinctive character.

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.
