Smoke Of Desert
Simone Andreoli is an independent Italian fragrance house founded by perfumer Simone Andreoli, known for creating unconventional compositions that prioritize raw materials and artistic expression over commercial appeal.
Smoke of Desert opens with a sharp, herbaceous burst of cedar leaves and citrus leaves, undercut by prominent smoke and spruce notes that immediately establish its austere character. The heart develops around absinthe and copal, adding a medicinal bitterness and resinous depth, while peru balsam and sicilian orange provide subtle sweetness and brightness. Smoke remains the dominant thread throughout, grounding everything in a dry, smoky base that feels more like burnt wood than incense. The overall profile is firmly in amber and warm spicy territory, but the balsamic and aromatic qualities keep it from feeling heavy or gourmand.
This is a fragrance for those seeking something genuinely offbeat and architectural rather than conventionally appealing. It works best in cooler months or evening wear, where its austere, almost architectural qualities can be properly appreciated. Those drawn to complex, smoky compositions with intellectual depth will find it rewarding. Smoke of Desert aligns with The Mystic, The Homesteader, and The Sensualist.
