smoke

Less a single ingredient than an accord built from birch tar, guaiac, cade, and burnt-wood molecules. Smells like a dying campfire the morning after: charred, dry, slightly sweet around the edges. Smoke gives a fragrance a moody, lived-in weight without the leather of birch tar alone. Common in modern niche compositions and oud-adjacent fragrances. A long-lasting base that hovers close to the skin and clings to clothing.

Also known as: smoky accord, woodsmoke, campfire accord
