Smoky
Smoky scent fragrances create an impression of wood smoke or fire, often evoking a mysterious or intense feeling. They are characterized by woody, resinous, and sometimes ashy notes. Common ingredients include woods like birch and cade, resins like labdanum and opoponax, and sometimes oud or incense. The effect can range from a dry, leathery smell to a more pungent, incense-like fragrance.
Here's a more detailed look:
Woody Notes:
Birch tar, cade oil (juniper tar), and certain types of wood like agarwood (oud) contribute to the smoky base, often with a leathery or earthy quality.
Resinous Notes:
Labdanum, opoponax, and other resins can add a sweet, balsamic, and slightly smoky facet to the fragrance.
Incense & Other Smoky Aromatic Chemicals:
Olibanum (frankincense) and myrrh, when burned, create an incense-like effect. Additionally, aroma chemicals like Iso E Super and Isobutyl Quinoline can be used to amplify the smoky effect.
Ashiness:
Some notes, like vetiver (especially the Indonesian variety), can have an ash-like quality, contributing to the overall smoky impression
