Best smokey frag?

[Fragmeister]

That should read 'smoky'!

I'm off to London tomorrow and I'd like some suggestions as to the best niche smokey fragrances for men to try. I've tried Naomi Goodsir's Bois d'Ascese and that was too much for me, but I'm open to suggestions. Thanks!

[The Smelly Scientist]

I find Tuscan Leather to be considerably smokey.

Also, I have heard man refer to Chanel's Sycomore as being a nice smokey vetiver.

Thanks! I own Tuscan Leather. I tried Sycamore earlier this month but my nose was so tired by that stage of the day that everything at the Chanel Exclusives counter smelled awful :/

LOL

May be worth another try. I wish there was somewhere close by I could sample the exclusives...

The only place I know in London is Selfridges. I suppose Harrod's has them, too, but I don't go there!

I love smokey fragrances. You've got some great suggestions so far - Arso, Fumidus, Black Tourmaline. I'd like to add one whose name I can never spell and my bottle, for some weird reason, doesn't have the name of the fragrance on it. I know its initials are KJ and it's from Parfums Regence and it's a great smokey leather. Somebody help me out here.

[Darvant]

Some good smoky releases (at different levels) are:
Fumerie Turque
Black Tourmaline
Patchouli 24
Athunis Sigilli
Cuir Ottoman Parfum d'Empire
V for Men Clive Christian
Vis et Honor O'Driu'
Aventus
Lonestar Memories
Fireside Intense Sonoma Scent Studio
Sombre Negra Yosh
Vintage Trussardi Uomo
Fumidus
Arso
Encre Noir
Cologne Noir Van Cleef&Arpels

Jeke Slumberhouse

[CaliDude]

Italian Cypress
Tobacco Vanille

[Ken_Russell]

Salvador Dali pour Homme
Francesco Smalto pour Homme

[PalmBeach]

I'll tell you what, I thought Profumum Arso was smokey. I just received a sample of Fumidus, and this makes Arso feel like white smoke, compared to a heavy fire black smoke with a touch of Scotch Whiskey neat thrown in for good measure.

[The_Cologneist]

Encre Noire
Sycomore
and my most recent discovery Nerouno (smells like a smokey Dior homme meets Fahrenheit!

[ben_from_boston]

this thread is money for suggestions, props to op for starting it.

[Vinrambo09]

Does any fragrance smell like burning smoking leaves, Sycomore had this note but they removed it in 2011 due to IFRA I am guessing.

[Primrose]

In my opinion:

Le Labo Patchouli 24
Cuir de Lancome

[Picassoutine]

1756-lg_4eb2334368851.jpg

Miller Harris Vetiver Bourbon
beautiful green smoke
longer-lasting and less harsh to my nose than Sycomore

[NewHaarlem]

Tea for Two

[zatarain]

It's been pretty well covered here.

+1 Patchouli 24
+1 Fumerie Turque
+1 Black Tourmaline

Will add:

Black Afgano

Interlude Man is amazing as well. Might take some getting used to though.
