Accord
Smoky accord
A smoky accord is the scent of smoke, burnt wood and tar. It adds darkness and a dry, mysterious edge.
How a Smoky accord is built
Smoky notes come from phenolic materials such as guaiacol types, used in very small amounts because they are powerful. Woods and resins give them a setting, so the smoke feels like incense or burnt wood rather than a chemical note.
