BORNTOSTANDOUT Smokin' Gun is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Florian Gallo. Smokin' Gun opens with Bitter Orange, Juniper, and Rum, settles into a heart of Oak, Whisky, Leather, and Pine, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Tobacco. BORNTOSTANDOUT's Smokin' Gun carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. If you're after a bold, smoky, boozy statement that doesn't hold back, you've found your match. But be warned, it's not a crowd-pleaser and might just clear a room faster than a dodgy curry.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Casual

Its potent smoky and boozy character makes it unsuitable for the office, where it could overwhelm. The strong, unique profile, however, makes it an intriguing choice for a date night, projecting confidence and depth without being overtly sweet. The intensity means it's best reserved for cooler weather and specific casual outings where a bold statement is desired, rather than everyday wear.

About

Smokin' Gun kicks off with a spirited shot of rum and juniper, brightened by bitter orange before plunging into a robust heart of smoky leather, pine, and rich whisky. As it settles, a comforting base of tobacco, cedar, and vanilla rounds off the boozy, woody journey, leaving a lingering, warm impression that's anything but subtle.
