Smoke Goti Essenze 2013
Smoke/No Smoke?
Goti Smoke
Ironically, there is little to no “smoke” here (in my opinion)....So if you are searching for a scent like Naomi Goodsir Bois d’ Ascese, keep looking. This is a stunning blend of pomegranate, cedar, resin, frankincense, and ginger supported by ebony wood. The pomegranate used here produces a tangy, bitter-sweet aroma reminiscent of the beginning phases of fermenting fruit and it pairs perfectly with the zingy, sharp ginger. They come together producing a chilly spicy effect reminiscent of scents like Blue Encens by Comme des Garcons. The fresh spicy effect maintains consistency throughout the dry down and eventually gives way to a polished-dark woody base. The performance could be a little better but it’s not terrible. In other words, it’s safe to be trigger happy with Goti Smoke without having an obnoxious scent cloud around you. 9/10
