About This Perfume
Think burnt oud incense smoke, resinous warmth: that is Thomas Kosmala Bukhoor. It opens with woody notes, moves into smoky notes and settles on Oud, amber and musk. It reads unisex.
This extrait de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. A good pick for nights out. Released in 2018.
Wearers report that it lasts through a full day, and projects strongly and fills a room. 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 woody and smoky for nights out.
- Sample first if: you are unsure about strong smoky notes; this one divides opinion.
- Skip if: you dislike woody fragrances.
Around $101.
