Burning lignin releases phenols such as guaiacol, which carry much of the smell of wood smoke, and the same family of molecules gives birch tar, cade and lapsang tea their campfire character. A smoke note can lean dry and ashy, resinous and incense-like or sweetly tobacco-tinged, and it is an assembled accord, dosed with care because a little quickly fills a composition.

Essentia catalog analysis
255 distinct perfumes with this note recorded.
Of the 255 perfumes in the catalog under this entry, 244 record a documented composition (at least three distinct notes or three distinct accords), spanning 1911 to 2024 across 22 distinct years.
249 / 255 perfumes have at least one other recorded note.
248 / 255 perfumes have at least one recorded accord.
These are recorded co-occurrences, not similarity scores, ingredient quantities or community preferences. Missing data is not evidence that a note or accord is absent.
Each perfume counts once, even if a note appears at multiple pyramid levels. Percentages use the documented sample in each section, not the entire catalog. Associations can overlap and do not add up to 100%.
Rankings require at least 10 perfumes with relevant data; an association must occur in at least 3. Only the most frequent associations are shown.
