by Alfred Dunhill
Egyptian Smoke by Alfred Dunhill is a richly layered, smoky-sweet fragrance with a prominent rose core, enhanced by warm notes of vanilla, cacao, and tobacco. The opening reveals a bright, spiced accord of black tea, pink pepper, and ginger, balancing the sweetness that deepens into a honeyed, gourmand depth as the fragrance dries down. Many note the strong presence of rose and smoky woody accords, with some comparing it to oud or incense scents, especially in cooler weather. The scent maintains a refined elegance that leans masculine but appeals to unisex tastes. Despite some mixed opinions on its projection and dry-down, the overall consensus highlights excellent longevity and pronounced sillage, particularly at night, with a warm, enveloping dry-down that lingers pleasantly.
