It instantly transports me to those classic black candies, the real licorice kind. I totally agree with GTI35: it smells like childhood with an adult twist. If you’ve smoked a pipe, you’ll catch that sweet tobacco vibe mixed with charcoal, creating a dense, spiced scent. Some call it smoke or tobacco, but in a nutshell: it smells like chewy licorice. It’s not bad, it’s just peculiar!
It takes me straight back to classic black candies from my past, real licorice—those you either loved or didn’t understand. I totally agree with GTI35: it smells like childhood with an adult twist. If you’ve ever smoked a hookah, you’ll notice that air of sweet tobacco, like apple or licorice, mixing with charcoal to create a dense, spiced, and sugary aroma. That’s why some associate it with smoke or tobacco. But let’s be clear: this smells like black licorice candy. And I’m not saying that as a bad thing; quite the opposite! It’s a peculiar aroma.
At first, it smells like an intense licorice that isn’t even listed in the notes; once it dries down, it’s less noticeable, but the scent hasn’t convinced me. It smells dark and smoky, definitely a winter fragrance and 100% masculine.
The opening is spectacular, smelling of delicious juicy apple, but that sensation lasts only 10 seconds before disappearing completely, replaced by an overpowering smoky scent that I honestly couldn’t tolerate; I had to wash my arm because it irritated me so much. So far, it’s number 3 on my list of perfumes I couldn’t stand. I sell perfumes and DO NOT BUY BLIND: if you’re looking for an opinion to purchase it, don’t spend your money, buy a decant instead.

It’s for very specific tastes and situations. On freezing days, it works well, smelling pleasant and warm, but in mild or hot weather, it becomes cloying and annoying to the point of causing a headache. Smells like apple cigarettes mixed with liquors like ‘Fire’ (Jack Daniels Fire or Pisco Mistral Fire), extremely sweet and heavy on cinnamon. Some call it ‘cinnamon apple foot’ and I understand the similarity, but the scent is so intense it doesn’t feel edible. Quality: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Versatility: ⭐️⭐️ Usage: Special occasions. Max temperature: 16°C. Not a blind buy.
It’s for specific situations and tastes. It’s good on cold days—warm and pleasant—but in temperate or hot climates, it’s overly cloying and annoying, even giving me headaches. It smells like apple cigarettes mixed with liquors like “Fire” (think Jack Daniels Fire), extremely sweet with lots of cinnamon. Some say it smells like “Cinnamon Apple Foot,” but it doesn’t feel edible due to the intensity. Quality: 5/5. Versatility: 2/5. Use: Special occasions. Max temp: 16°C. Not for blind buys.
In my experience, it smells like juicy apple at first with a lovely touch of cinnamon; the smoke is noticeable at the start but fades quickly, leaving a delicious sweet and mysterious perfume with vanilla in the background, then licorice appears, which I absolutely love. I don’t see it as formal as I’ve read; I’m young and think it’s ideal for night outs or informal events. A great discovery for sure.
Veneno tries to be Kilian’s Smoking Hot and surprises: it doesn’t fall apart. It’s not the cheap clone expected; it’s a clone that knows how to read the score even if it lacks the same orchestra. At first, it sets distance with Lattafa’s Mashrabya, which smells like hot plastic and requires patience. Veneno starts round with apple and cinnamon, evoking a freshly baked pie or shisha in a dark Arabic coffee shop. As time passes, the licorice emerges: not the bitter natural kind, but the black candy variety, sweet and sticky, lingering on the teeth and evoking nostalgia. Here, Smoking Hot wins because it declares it, while Veneno hides it as an obvious secret. The base maintains apple and vanilla until the end, creating something sweet, masculine, and serious for its price. It lasts about 8 hours without losing its edge and projects strongly for the first two hours like a defined halo. It’s not an all-rounder: better in cold weather, autumn, or spring, for those who’ve outgrown fluorescent sneakers. Neither sport nor gala, it’s that informal range with mystery. Comparisons: it doesn’t match Dior’s Tobacolor except with a lot of imagination. Between Veneno and Mashrabya, the choice is obvious—Veneno wins by KO. If you want to step into the Smoking Hot DNA without emptying your wallet, this is the sensible option. Then, if you fall in love, you know: time to pay Kilian.
In my experience, it starts with juicy apple and rich cinnamon. The smoke is noticeable at first but fades in minutes, leaving behind a sweet, mysterious scent with vanilla undertones and then the licorice, which is fantastic. I don’t see it as formal as I’ve read; it’s perfect for night outs or casual settings. A great discovery.
Smells like apple, cinnamon, and smoke, with that touch of black licorice that brings back childhood memories. It’s elegant, sweet, and very unique. Don’t buy it blind; test it first because it’s for the brave. Longevity and projection are top-notch. 10/10.
A deliciously rich blend of apple, cinnamon, and smoke that reminds me of black licorice from my childhood. It’s elegant, sweet, and different. Not a blind buy—test it first because it’s not for everyone. Only the brave should wear it. Great longevity and projection. I recommend it 10/10.
Projects like crazy and generates compliments, but over time that intensity turns into a headache. Good only for cold weather; don’t use it in the heat because it becomes even more annoying.
I bought it blind and it’s a beauty: projects a ton and lasts amazingly well, but unfortunately I had to gift it to my husband because once it dries down, it leans heavily masculine.
I bought it blind and it’s a beauty; it projects well and lasts long, but unfortunately, I had to gift it to my husband because once it dries, it leans heavily masculine.
Starts with a powerful hit, almost seven times over—perfect if you want to shout ‘Here I am!’, but be warned: it can tire out your nose. Smells sweet with a soft menthol that doesn’t cloy; after 30 minutes, the menthol fades, leaving behind a sweet, damp tobacco scent that isn’t dense. Projects well for about 3 hours, then leaves a one-meter trail that lasts another 3 hours. At the 5-hour mark, it’s still going strong with those burst moments. On my skin, it lasts 10-12 hours, or 13-14 if you don’t rub your nose into it. Noticeable indoors, felt up close outdoors. Notes: apple (if you catch it), smoked plums, mint, soft leather/tobacco, vanilla from start to finish. It’s a rare, mysterious, and pleasant aroma, niche-style. Ideal for cold, cloudy days or nights. Works well in the office, at uni, or weddings, but be careful with the dosage: 2 or 3 sprays is plenty. Recommended.
A perfume that requires personality. It has a sweet, vanilla, and alcoholic path with exquisite incense and tobacco. Mysterious aroma. Totally for winter, with a good suit or as a bad boy with your leather jacket. Some will say it smells like scented candle wax and others like smoky licorice.
I bought it for the hype, and the first impression wasn’t worth it. It’s not bad; it’s a good perfume with few similar ones, but I expected something more smoky and characterful, less sweet. It smells heavily of cinnamon, with apple juice and incense; it’s tasty, but I was looking for something more mysterious, less sweet, more green, acidic apple, and fresh. Still, I’ve received more than three compliments.
Smells like apple hookah smoke, but you can also detect the cinnamon; very tasty.
I have a decant, and even though I like sweets, this has something weird: the cinnamon and apple don’t smell like they do in others and give me nausea. It has good longevity and sillage. I recommend trying it first; the cinnamon is very prominent and it’s not for blind buying.
Super sweet. I like sweet perfumes, but this one is too aggressive and after a while it gives me a headache.
This fragrance tests your patience; you have to let it mature to move from a car smell to something extremely interesting, smoky, and fruity. I barely notice the vanilla, but that smokiness is rich. Not for everyone, but definitely a blind buy.
Veneno – French Avenue: it’s a very well-made dupe of Kilian’s Smoking Hot with quality ingredients. It transports you to a clandestine bar with hookah, tobacco aromatized with juicy, ripe apple over burning charcoal and ash. It has a liquorish, humid air that gets caught in its nuances. It’s mysterious, dark, with faint luminous sparkles. Ideal for going out at night or to a club; not for day or office due to the sweetness that can be overwhelming. It’s for standing out and drawing attention. Lasts 10 hours on my skin. Highly recommended.
I’m floored that people criticize this perfume so much while praising designer scents that smell cheap and cost over €80. It’s mysterious, smells great, and its quality surpasses most mass-market options. It’s for those who know what they want and want to make a statement.
I have a decant, and although I like sweet fragrances, this one has something off. The cinnamon and apple don’t smell like they do in others; it reaches a point where it makes me nauseous. It has good longevity and sillage. I recommend testing it first. The cinnamon is very prominent; not for blind buys.
I compared Smoking Hot and Veneno, and they’re identical. It’s well-made, but don’t buy it blindly; it’s dense, very sweet, and not for everyone.
The opening doesn’t work for me, but the dry down is delightful: super sweet vanilla with a decaf apple providing a divine counterpoint.
