Smoke for the Soul
Kilian (2014)

I don't get the cannabis hype on it, and I love this! I do! I love this so much that the price tag makes me want to weep. It has a wonderful sour edge from grapefruit, and it has a clean, green, almost, but not quite antiseptic lightness to it that the eucalyptus adds. It also has a light woody note from birch that keeps it a bit grounded and a Cashmirwood note softens the green in your face feel just enough to make it not obnoxious. I really don't smell too much cannibis. This is more like Zahtar, the Middle Eastern thyme spice mixture.

A woody-coniferous thing that wouldn't be out of place next to the likes of Bottega Veneta pour Homme. Not very edgy or interesting, but pleasant.

Slight medicinal note on top, which is this perfume's only redeeming quality. A bit of tobacco. Mild, distant wood. "Weed" smell is minimal - more like a muddled memory from long gone, rock concert days. Overall pretty boring for me.

You may be amused, you may be irritated, you may even want to get the bong out, but if you don't know what black hash smells like - you won't get the joke.

And that's all Smoke for the Soul is, a joke. An accurate portrayal of black hash; a mere prank, not a mature fragrance idea.

Don't wear it going through customs!

Cannabis smoke and cardamom are quite well executed in the opening notes, and the drydown is adding a rather generic wood aroma that is unfortunately much less convincing.

At times whiffs of a greeninsh undertone are present, but otherwise I do not get much more development for the rest of the time. And that time is short; I get three hours of longevity in my skin. With moderate sillage and just adequate projection, the longevity is awfully short for a scent that is not citrus-based. 2.75/5

this is verging ln thumbs up and neutral.

opening up with a hard hit of wierd Pot pipe smell, the kind that you would get from the next day pot pipe. its not horrendous, and certainly says CANNABIS!! Wether you want to smell like that is personal choice, i happen to think the actual aroma is very complex and intriguing to smell.

longevity on me doesnt seem to be worthy of other kilian offerings, and projection doesnt warrant the price tag.
so yes, i do like this frag, and would probably buy a bottle if it were sub £100 but doubling the cost just makes it hard to swallow.

UPDATE:
This scent is giving me headaches. ive tested it against other scents, and with showering after and definently this frag. shame, but at least it isnt a frag id want to buy.
