Smoke of Desert – Eau de Parfum

Simone Andreoli – an independent perfume house from Carpi near Modena, founded in 2014 by the perfumer of the same name, who composes every fragrance as a page of his “Diario Olfattivo”, an olfactory travel diary.

Smoke of Desert is resinous, smoky and mysterious. Omani frankincense takes centre stage, elemi adds a bright resinous facet and absinthe a green coolness, before cashmere wood and leather ground the smoke soft and warm.

Smoke of Desert is at its best in autumn and winter and in the evening. A unisex fragrance for quiet moments and for anyone who wants to wear incense as an adventure.

What makes Smoke of Desert special to us is its clarity: a night-time journey through the Omani desert, where the most precious frankincense in the world comes from. Simone Andreoli puts the resin centre stage and gives it a modern edge with absinthe and leather.
