Smooth oud

Genuinely a beautiful scent. Smooth woods, mostly oud under a layer of gentle flowers and new car interior. Silage is quite poor and definitely makes it not worth the price. It's reminding me of a much more mellow Aqua di Parma Oud - and I'd honestly say you get that over Smoke Show. Fairly priced with insane performance.

One dimensional smoke grenade that is very reminiscent of armaf club de nuit. Smoke is done well and i love it

Weaving smoke on a mineral base & bitter woods; reminded me of raw guaiacwood.

For me, a beautiful twin to Bowmakers Eau de Parfum. In this version, it’s fresher for longer than the Bowmaker. Lovely!

More leathery and peppery than "smoky"
The velvety rose is noticeable in the DD
A masculine scent (in my opinion)

On paper, I really liked it, but on my skin, it mostly smells like beech wood shavings, with just a hint of smokiness left.

All the notes are totally my thing, but on the skin, it's rather dull. Leather dominates for a long time, then it flattens to smoke. What a shame.

Citrusy-fruity + woody. It leans towards Hacivat even though nothing fruity is listed here. You really only get a hint of Oud. Solid.

Others from the line are too intense for me. This one, however, is beautifully balanced; smoke & vetiver are pleasantly soft with leather & rose blended in.
