    I received an imp of this in a swap back in 2006, and I've still managed to hold onto it. Why ? Because, a) I love it so much and I want to wear it on special occasions and b) her blends are...

    Kretek was a bit of a disappointment for me. I didn't get much but cloves and was waiting for the tobacco to show up. This fragrance just seemed spicy and muddled and smelled a bit like aftershave.

    Easily one of my favorite perfumes out there. I've loved the smell of clove cigarettes for as long as I can remember, but since I'm not a smoker and can't be around people who do smoke (it sets...

    Quite simply I'm in love. This need not fear comparison with the immortal Fumerie Turque. The cardamom is just so brilliant and uplifting with what could be a potentially very heavy concoction, it...

    I hate to argue but this doesn't smell like clove cigarettes. A real clove cigarette gives me a jolt of memory-flash-back that puts me years younger, spiked and leathered and ears ringing with the...

    Absolutely NAILS the scent of clove cigarettes. I don't always want to smell like "cloves" - but if I'm going to a hooka bar or smoky club - this is a good scent to have.

    Surprisingly wearable and rather lovely! When I was about 15, I fell in with the "goth" crowd, which mostly consisted of guys a few years older than me who hung around the mall and Denny's on...

    I love the smell of cloves and I loooove Ava Luxe. Sadly, this smells EXACTLY like ketchup on me. I let it dry down for a while and then it smelled like...rancid ketchup. Yuck!

    This is very rich, warm, spicey and unique. I just love this one. This packs a lot of punch so it might be best to have this in parfum form for dabbing. My next FB purchace for certain!

    Another excellent fragrance by Ava Luxe. Kretek has all the advantages of smelling like exotic clove cigarettes without the unpleasant, lingering stale stench of aged clove-cigarette smoke. This is...

    Back in the days when I used to smoke -- I truly enjoyed Kretek. I love clove... as it reminds me of Xmas ribbon candy. But being a reformed smoker I detest anything that remotely smells like...

    Funny, I just came from Java but don't remember smelling Kreteks at all. Perhaps the Indonesians were abstaining because they were in the midst of religious festivals. No matter. I love the concept...

    What impelled me to try this? (Could it be--Satan?!?) I so hate cloves that the clove paste they used when I had dental work was one of the worst parts of the experience. I hate cinnamon and...

    I've been told this smells exactly like a clove cigarette-- I wouldn't know. I thought it smelled sort of like one of Serge's creations-- very deep, with the tobacco and the spice. I do smell...
