Fragrance information:
Cigarettes After by Antonio Maretti — the character and concept of the fragrance. Cigarettes After is a men's eau de parfum created for those who appreciate expressive woody chypre compositions with a fruity contrast.
The fragrance belongs to the Prestige collection, combining an energetic opening, a dry woody heart and a warm ambery base.
The Antonio Maretti brand represents the new Italian wave of independent niche perfumery.
The brand was founded in 2018 by Antonio Maretti, a perfumer and visionary who focuses on bold presentation, a distinctive character and compositions designed to make an emotional impact.
The fragrance pyramid and development. The top notes of Cigarettes After open with a juicy blend of apple, bergamot, blackcurrant and pineapple.
This opening is bright, fresh and slightly tart, immediately giving the fragrance a modern, confident mood.
As it develops, the fruity lightness gives way to birch, cade juniper, patchouli and jasmine.
The woody-resinous accord becomes drier and deeper, while jasmine adds a soft floral facet without taking the composition in a romantic direction.
Amber, moss, vanilla and musk emerge in the base.
The finish is warm, dense and enveloping: mossy-woody nuances are supported by sweetish vanilla and musky smoothness, leaving a rich and distinctive impression on the skin.
Sillage, longevity and wearability. The fragrance is described as having very strong sillage, so Cigarettes After is best applied moderately and is well suited to those who enjoy being noticed.
The composition is particularly appropriate for evenings, dates, events or cool weather, when its woody, ambery and mossy facets sound most full-bodied.
The fragrance is positioned as masculine, yet its fruity-woody profile may appeal to those who choose perfume by character rather than strict gender labeling.
It will suit fans of rich compositions that contrast a fresh opening with a warm, slightly gourmand drydown.
No exact recommendations for the number of sprays on skin or clothing are provided in the available information.
Given the very strong sillage, it is sensible to start with a small number of sprays and see how the eau de parfum behaves specifically on your skin.
The perfumer and the fragrance's place in the collection. Christian Calabro worked on Cigarettes After.
His name is associated with a composition in which fresh fruits do not stand alone but gradually transition into dry woods, moss, amber and musk.
Thanks to this structure, the fragrance retains its dynamism from the first spray through to the deep drydown.
Within the Prestige line, this release stands out for its striking combination of juiciness and density.
Fragrances worth considering for further exploration in a similar direction include Afnan Supremacy Silver, Rancé 1795 Heroique and Sergio Nero VSOP Elite.
Other concentrations of Cigarettes After are not specified in the available information.
