It's a smoked prune. It smells exactly like a smoked prune - a common ingredient in Ukrainian cuisine. I'm a bit intrigued as to why this particular food is made into perfume, but oh well, who am I to judge.

It's a linear scent, although it sports some fancy notes like tobacco and leather. That gives some unusual richness to a fruit. It's bitter, tart, very smoky, and somewhat unusual. Smoked prune is often used in sweets, but by itself, it's not sweet at all and not a juicy type of fruity. It's a celebration of a fruit dried and smoked, but still delicious and healthy.

It's quite long-lasting, as far as this brand's perfumes go. So, if you're into very unusual savoury smoky gourmands, it can work for you. I'm not big into a dries fruit scene, so sadly, it's a bit too astringent for me.

    I don't know what a smoked prune smells like but I'm confident that I'd prefer to smell that over some of the 'art' shock value scents that are coming thick & fast atm

      If you have any Polish or Eastern European shops nearby, smoked prunes are sold there often. I love my artsy perfume, but I agree that those claiming to smell like guts/ufos/cthulhu are a fad.

      Plenty of them near me. I'll have a look.
