Bergamot opens clean and citrus-bright before iris pulls things slightly powdery and cool within the first hour. Coffee adds a roasted edge that keeps the iris from going too soft, while cedar and papyrus build a dry, slightly smoky base that grounds everything without going heavy. Musk holds it all together in a skin-close dry-down with modest sillage — this reads refined rather than loud, projecting well in cool air but staying polite indoors. — Best in spring or early fall for the office or a dinner out; suits someone who wants presence without demanding attention.

The most-cited dupe for Uomo is Smokey Heart Homme by Dua Fragrances. It is not community-scored yet, so we do not list an accuracy or longevity number for it — treat it as an untested budget take rather than a verified match.
Every dupe is rated on two independent dimensions: scent accuracy (how closely it matches the original) and longevity (how long it lasts on skin). Scores are aggregated from community consensus on Reddit r/fragrance, r/fragranceclones, and Fragrantica. They are never averaged into a single number — accuracy and longevity are separate decisions.
No. The Scent File takes no brand deals, no sponsorships, and no paid rankings. Rankings reflect community consensus only. We do earn affiliate commission when you purchase through our links at no extra cost to you — but this never influences which dupes appear or how they are scored.
