They add atmosphere to woods, tobacco and amber and give contrast to sweet vanilla or fruit accords.
The note’s placement and prominence depend on the complete composition.
Understanding this note
A smoke note is a composed effect and does not identify one universal ingredient. Materials with smoky facets and dedicated accords can create it without literal smoke in the bottle.
