Smoking Hot - Kilian | First Impression

Kilian Hennessy's Inspiration: At night, there are no rules but one: just be Smoking Hot! KILIAN PARIS newest smoky fragrance is a truly caramelized delight. It features Kentucky Tobacco absolute, infused with a hookah drag of Apple-flavoured shisha tobacco and intense Bourbon Vanilla. Evoking everything from European clubs to Eastern hookah lounges, Smoking Hot redefines what a smokey scent is today, going almost where it's too hot to handle.
The Perfume: The fragrance opens with forbidden fruit: a round Apple Hookah flavour blends with warm Cinnamon Bark essence. In a slow burn, notes of fire-cured Kentucky Tobacco absolute emerge. Harmonized with Oakmoss, this resonant Tobacco absolute leads into a Bourbon Vanilla, with balsamic tonalities. Also known as a Pure Jungle essence™ Bourbon Vanilla, it is of the highest quality Vanilla available, especially intense, and textured. When crossed with Orcanox™, a powerful sensuality comes full circle.
The Perfume notes: Hookah Flavour, Tobacco Absolute, Bourbon Vanilla Pure Jungle Essence

It’s funny how often playdoh seems to come up in fragrances, however briefly. It’s obviously not a listed note but I couldn’t tell you the amount of times I’ve smelt it.

It's familiar, nostalgic, but also taints fragrances making them smell cheap when reminded of the thought, i think i may have said the same thing about "Queen of silk" (unless I cut that out). There must be some aroma molecule used in playdough that's also common in perfumery. Lot of toys that i remember from growing up used to bring a level of serotonin just by the scent alone. Especially the smell from a fresh pack of Yu-Gi-Oh cards.
