Smoking Hot
Smoking Hot by Kilian is an unisex eau de parfum from 2022 in the luxury price tier. It opens with apple and cinnamon, moves into tobacco and immortelle and dries down to bourbon vanilla, patchouli and oakmoss. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Apple Crunchy and tart or soft and red, depending on the treatment.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
Heart
- Tobacco Sweet, dried and honeyed. Nothing like a cigarette.
- Immortelle Maple syrup, curry and hay. Genuinely strange and very distinctive.
Dry-down
- Bourbon Vanilla Richer, boozier vanilla. Darker than the standard version.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
