Smoked Bloom

Smoked Bloom presents a distinctive blend of smoky, woody, and fruity accords, centered around apricot and osmanthus. While some find it to be a clean, creamy, and slightly mineral-scented profile reminiscent of herbal tea or a cozy log cabin setting, others perceive it as ashy, musty, or overly soapy—particularly those expecting a more ethereal or sweet floral experience. The fragrance evolves from a bright, resinous opening with bergamot and vetiver to a soft, apricot-kissed drydown layered with sandalwood and vetiver, creating a naturally textured, unisex scent. Its longevity is moderate, with the dry warm woods persisting gently, while the overall sillage remains intimate to moderate. The skin-scent is described as nuanced—neither overwhelmingly sweet nor smoky—making it suitable for daywear in autumn and spring, and appreciated by those seeking something unconventional and quietly elegant. Despite some polarizing reactions, many appreciate its natural feel, unusual character, and how it balances fruit, wood, and subtle mineral notes without veering into synthetic or overtly dramatic territory.
