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.

About

Smoke Show opens with a subtle warmth of saffron and a kick of pink pepper, laying the groundwork for a heart of supple leather intertwined with elegant rose. As it dries, woody accords of vetiver and cedar emerge, keeping the composition smooth and surprisingly clean. It's an understated take on an oud-leather profile, more reminiscent of a jazz lounge than a bonfire.
