In 5 of 1747 fragrances here, most often worn in winter
What it is
Peat, malt and barrel notes, built from smoky woods and boozy esters rather than from anything distilled.
What it smells like
Boozy and smoky with a sweet edge, like a glass left standing in a room with a fire. It is warmer than the smoky accord alone and reads as a room rather than as an outdoors.
How strongly it is worn
The average strength this accord is listed at, where 100 means it dominates the fragrance.
90 / 100
What builds it
How much more often than the catalogue average. 1.0x would be chance, so these are the things that genuinely travel with it rather than the things that are simply common.
Accords it sits beside
Same measure, with its own family filtered out. Saying woody turns up with oud is a restatement, not a finding.
When it is worn
Against the average fragrance here. The line marks that average, so a bar past it means this is worn in that season or setting more than most.
Houses that use it most
Counted across the fragrances here, which reflects what we cover as much as what a house makes.
Carolina Herrera (1), Givenchy (1), Mancera (1), Mugler (1), Nishane (1).
