Decent Enough
The effort I had to put in to track down a bottle of this stuff was absurd. It was no joke when ATH said this was a limited release. When it finally arrived, I was feeling pretty unsure of it. Being a fragrance that was creatively directed by a YouTuber, it had its fair share of hate online. But, likewise, it had its fair share of praise. I can say, right now, that Smoulder isn’t quite what I was expecting.
Everybody comments on the smoke and, yes, it’s incredibly prominent. But it isn’t the gritty, harsh kind of smoke that’d make your eyes water. It’s very sweet, which I attribute both to the sandalwood and to the neroli and lemon in the top, which seem to just round off the fragrance as a whole. For me, it’s a little too sweet overall, but it isn’t something that makes me retch and want to scrub it off immediately. The longevity is nothing short of astounding. The projection is nothing special, but that suits me fine. I prefer to have a more intimate scent bubble. And for those wondering, yes, it pulls compliments remarkably well.
A good fragrance that I’m happy to have, but not one I’d recommend busting your chops to find. If one happens to fall into your lap, wear it and enjoy it, but don’t spend sleepless nights wondering what might’ve been. It’s just good, not groundbreaking.
