A seriously cool and underrated gem. This smells like a modern, minimalist art gallery—peppery, with cold incense and smooth black leather. It’s effortlessly chic and mysterious.
Oddity, Woody Amber Perfume 1.7 oz
The definition of "dark and stormy." This smells like a damp, dark forest floor with inky vetiver, cypress, and a beautiful touch of incense. The quality you get for the price is unbelievable.
Encre Noire à L'Extrême by Lalique
A modern masterpiece for the bold. This is a dry, unapologetic leather and vetiver scent that has a gasoline-like, smoky quality. It's unique, rugged, and surprisingly addictive.
Gucci Guilty Absolute Pour Homme
The name says it all. This is the coziest scent on the list, perfectly capturing the smell of a smoldering wood fire, complete with roasting chestnuts and a hint of vanilla. Pure comfort.

A classic for a reason. This is a beautiful blend of aldehydes (which give it a "snuffed candle" vibe), incense, and rich mahogany wood. It's sophisticated, artistic, and very wearable.
Comme des Garcons 2 Man Comme des Garcons for men

Patchouli 24 by Le Labo
The most elegant and office-friendly scent on this list. It’s not a funky oud at all; it's a dry, sophisticated blend of cedarwood, pink pepper, and a light, airy smoke. Smells like old money.
Royal-Oud Perfume
An iconic indie creation that smells like the dry, spicy air of the Moroccan desert at dusk. It’s a beautiful blend of spices, amber, and frankincense that is both rugged and beautiful.
No 02 L'AIR DU DÉSERT MAROCAIN 50 ml

Black Eau de Toilette by Comme des Garçons
A modern and incredibly popular take on leather. It's a smooth, black leather scent with a touch of florals and a smoky, spicy cardamom note in the background. Endlessly versatile.
Ombré Leather by Tom Ford

If you love the scent of a cathedral, this is your holy grail. It's a powerful, photorealistic frankincense fragrance—resinous, bright, and deeply spiritual.

This smells like a cozy, rustic log cabin. A beautiful and comforting blend of vanilla, guaiac wood, and oak barrels that has a distinct, smoky character.
MEMOIRS OF A TRESPASSER - FRAGRANCE
A different take on incense. This is a clean, bright, and airy incense scent that evokes white linen and old churches. It’s smoky and spiritual, but in a very clean and minimalist way.
