Leather, Smoke & Tobacco Fragrance Notes

Leather, smoke and tobacco notes can give perfume a darker and deeper character. Leather may smell dry, smooth, earthy or slightly animalic, smoke can add charred or burnt warmth, and tobacco can range from dry and leafy to warm, sweet and honeyed. The three notes work differently, but Luxaro groups them together because their deeper scent qualities often overlap.

The Leather, Smoke & Tobacco category brings together three individual fragrance notes with darker, dry and often warm scent qualities: leather, smoke and tobacco. In perfumery, these effects can be created from different natural and synthetic fragrance materials, so a leather or smoke note does not simply mean that finished leather or actual smoke has been added to a perfume.
