About

Smoky Hinoki Essence is Perfume Parlour's budget take on Hinoki & Cedarwood by Jo Malone London. It opens with Incense, leads into a heart of Hinoki Wood, Cypress, and dries down to Musk. The overall character is smoky with musky and woody facets. It is a lighter, more linear interpretation than the original - less of the expensive nuance, but the headline accord comes through clearly for casual everyday wear.
