Smoky Soul
Smoky Soul by Olfactive Studio is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with osmanthus and black pepper, moves into black tea, rose and jasmine and dries down to vetiver, patchouli and seaweed. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Osmanthus Apricot-and-leather floral. Unusual, warm and very wearable.
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
Heart
- Black Tea Dry, tannic and smoky. More astringent than green tea.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Seaweed Salty, green and faintly funky. Real coastline rather than a bottle of 'fresh'.
