Smoke of Desert

Smoke of Desert, released by Simone Andreoli in 2024, is a dry, smoky amber built around resins and incense. Everyone who describes it calls it amber, most also find it woody, and a minority notice resinous and leather facets.

Elemi resin gives the opening a bright, peppery, lemony freshness, an unexpected lift in an otherwise dark composition. Absinthe adds a bitter, herbal, wormwood-like edge. The heart turns smoky as incense rises, dry and slightly church-like, while leather brings a smooth, tanned texture. In the base, styrax provides a balsamic, slightly sweet and smoky resin, and cashmere wood a soft, warm, woolly woodiness that holds everything together.

Worn by anyone, it suits people who enjoy incense and resin fragrances with a dry rather than sugary character. The smoke and leather point towards autumn and winter, evenings and quieter, contemplative moments, though the elemi keeps it from feeling heavy at the start. Lovers of resinous, desert-inspired ambers will find it a natural fit.
