From the brand -
"Blossoms Smoke / 57 represents the evolution of the family history. Romain Almairac continues the tradition of his father Michel while adding his own creative and personal touch.
"The fragrance opens with smoky, intense and earthy notes that make an immediate impression. This smoky signature quickly fades to reveal white flowers that bring a luminous softness with a burning, dangerous undertone, giving the fragrance a complex, evolving character. The contrast between strength and softness is an elegant interplay of light and shadow. Over time, the base reveals warm, amber notes of tonka bean and vanilla, creating a rich oriental atmosphere with a remarkably strong sillage."
Parle Moi de Parfum (Tell Me About Perfume) was founded by Benjamin Almairac, son of reknowned perfumer Michel Almairac, who has been the nose behind the collection. Michel Almairac is one of the great living perfumers credited with the creation of over 200 perfumes. Benjamin had always wanted to follow his family tradition but he wanted to make something new. He did not want to be a perfume creator because of the pressures of being as good as his father but instead chose to create a fragrance house inspired by the art of making perfume. In a beautiful space in Paris' chic Marais district, Parle Moi de Parfum is a place for perfume lovers to visit with an expert and learn how the perfume process works. As Benjamin says, "to talk about how you create, how you extract, to talk to visitors as my father talked to me.” He gave his father free reign in creating the fragrances and his father selected the raw materials and performed weighing sessions, assessments and critiques until the olfactory form in his imagination matched what he smelled in the fragrance. Each scent was given a number that corresponds to the number of trials before arriving at the final formula. For Blossoms Smoke, that number is 57.
Fragrantica - "At the end of the first day wearing this, I can say it might be full bottle worthy for me! It wasn't a super powerful fragrance but I kept smelling my clothes so that I could get a whiff. I have Akro Ink which was my intro to leathery/ smoky fragrances. I would say that I like this one a touch better as it is a bit more complex for me. The sweetness from the tonka bean comes through during the dry down for me which is a nice surprise element. It reads a little like cardamom to me. This is so nice"
Fragrantica - "I definitely get leathery vanilla upon first sniff. I actually don't know if I've ever smelled anything like this! It's very unique and very beautiful. A mix of warm and cool although I could see myself wearing this more in colder months."
