Caresse
It suits a man perfectly, but on my skin it’s a disaster. It smells of strong black tea, steam, and heavy smoke. It feels dry and dark; perhaps it would work differently on another woman’s skin, but it just doesn’t work for me. As it develops, it softens and gains a marine touch, yet it remains too heavy for a woman. I barely notice the notes because the smoke drowns everything out. It would suit a man in cool weather at night; during the day, it feels overwhelming.

Smoky Soul by @olfactivestudio is photographic realism of the hot steam from strong black tea rising from an old ceramic cup towards your face in the morning, without sugar or sweeteners: the most vegetal, smoky, herbal, and rustic form possible. The opening has bitter citrus, a rough texture, high acidity, and smoke from the very first second; it almost seems fresh, but only initially. The black tea is a herbal and opaque accord, very wet and heavy, quite realistic, deriving its potency and moisture from osmanthus, which is almost the absolute protagonist from the dark sensations to the thick atmospheric base. If you are a tea fan like me, it is one of the most realistic and complex approaches on the market, with a persistent trail, great projection, and longevity; this Smoky Soul is bold and daring as few tea-based fragrances.
