Sweet Smoke
by Alexandria Fragrances
Sweet Smoke is a bold, warm gourmand fragrance with a dominant tobacco note, enhanced by vanilla, coffee, and spicy dried fruits. It opens with a sharp, sweet-spicy tobacco burst—reminiscent of a luxurious chai latte with toasted marshmallow depth—before settling into a creamy, slightly resinous base. The scent is most impactful in cooler weather, where its intense sillage and long-lasting warmth shine. It performs well beyond average, with several users reporting 8 to 10 hours of wear, and it projects moderately to strongly for the first few hours. Many compare it closely to Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, with some noting subtle differences in smoothness and complexity—Sweet Smoke tends to be slightly spicier, more pronounced, and a touch sweeter, giving it a more 'candy-like' or 'felt' intensity. It is not a flawless clone, but it stands as a compelling, affordable alternative for those drawn to rich tobacco gourmands.
