Nicotine
Nicotine is a chemical name rather than a standardized perfume accord. When used as a note label, it should be interpreted in the context of the fragrance’s tobacco, smoky or aromatic character.

It does not by itself describe the rounded hay, honey and wood facets of a cured-tobacco accord.

Understanding this note
A note pyramid is not an ingredient declaration. The name does not establish nicotine in the bottle and should not be treated as a synonym for natural tobacco absolute.
