The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2020, Egyptian Smoke by Alfred Dunhill is a sophisticated Oriental Spicy fragrance crafted by perfumer Jérôme Epinette. The composition opens with the sharp and invigorating notes of black tea and pink pepper, followed by the warmth of ginger and Grasse rose. At its core, tobacco and cacao create an intriguing blend that adds depth to the scent without overpowering it. The base features papyrus, palo santo, vanilla, tonka bean, and patchouli, offering a rich blend of warm spices and sweet notes.
One spray is sufficient for this fragrance as it develops well on skin over time. The tobacco note is particularly strong initially but blends into a more complex profile within the first hour.
