About This Perfume
Think Smoky black tea, ginger warmth, rosy resin: that is Alfred Dunhill Egyptian Smoke. It opens with black tea, ginger and pink pepper, moves into Grasse rose and papyrus and settles on palo santo, patchouli and labdanum. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. It suits date nights. Released in 2020.
Wearers report that it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something amber forward and sweet for date nights.
- Sample first if: oriental is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike sweet fragrances.
Around $59.
