Product description

Smoky by Maison Alhambra is a deep, mysterious and sophisticated fragrance with rich smoky and tobacco-driven character. It’s designed to evoke a sense of ancient mystery and warm amber-wood elegance, inspired by regal Middle Eastern ambience and modern oriental perfumery. The scent has become known for its smoky warmth and bold personality that lingers beautifully throughout wear. 

Inspiration / Vibe

Maison Alhambra does not officially market Smoky as a clone of any specific designer fragrance. However, many wearers and fragrance communities feel it has a similar tobacco-amber-smoke vibe to Dior Tobacolor, with a sweet-smoky twist, this is based on community experience and comparisons, not official brand claims. 

Notes

Top Notes: Plum, Peach, Bergamot, Citrus 

Heart Notes: Honey, Smoke, Oriental Notes 

Base Notes: Tobacco Leaf, Tobacco, Amber, White Tobacco 

What it smells like

Smoky opens with a fresh but rich fruity burst, peach, plum and citrus, that adds brightness before the heavier facets take the lead.  In the heart, smoky tobacco leaf, honey and oriental spices create a warm, velvety and intriguing core.  The dry-down delivers rich tobacco, amber and white tobacco tones with a persistent smoky and resinous trail that feels luxurious, mysterious and bold. 

Fragrance forums describe Smoky as having both sweet, honeyed facets and deeper smoky tobacco resonance, which makes it feel warm, rich and evocative of candlelit evenings or chilly nights out. 

Performance

• Longevity: Moderate to long, typically lasts 6–10+ hours on skin and often longer on clothing.  
• Sillage: Moderate to strong, noticeable trail without being overpowering.  
• Projection: Smoky and amber notes tend to project well in the dry-down, with fruity top notes mellowing early.  

Best for

• Cooler seasons (autumn & winter), heavier tobacco and smoky base shine in cold weather.  
• Evening wear & dates, rich, warm trail feels seductive and memorable.  
• Formal or special occasions, smoky depth adds sophistication.  
• Fans of tobacco and amber fragrances, if you love deep, smoky, warm blends.
