Olfactive Studio Close Up is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Annick Menardo. Close Up opens with Spicy, Coffee, and Cherry, settles into a heart of White Tobacco, Cedar, Patchouli, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Tonka Bean. Olfactive Studio's Close Up carries an Acquired verdict, a cherry-led wear.

This one's a proper challenge. You'll either love its unique, complex cherry and tobacco heart or recoil from its animalic, off-kilter opening. Definitely not for a blind buy.

About

A boozy, tart cherry liqueur kicks things off, quickly joined by rich, dark coffee and an intriguing blend of warm spices. The heart unfolds into a comforting, pipe-like white tobacco, deepened by earthy patchouli and subtle rose hints. It all settles into a warm, sensual base of amber, tonka bean, and a lingering musk that contributes to its polarising character.
