Smoke

Smoke by Jil Sander, composed by Bérénice Watteau and released in 2025, sets woody, fresh and resinous accords in equal balance. With only four notes, it is a clean, pared-back take on smoky woods.

Aldehydes give a bright, sparkling, almost soapy lift at the start, which keeps the smoke airy rather than heavy. Elemi adds a peppery, lemony resin with a light, fresh glow. Cade oil brings the smoke itself: dry, tarry and reminiscent of a campfire or burnt birch. Cedar forms the base, giving a clean, pencil-shaving woodiness that carries the smokiness through the drydown.

Worn by anyone, it suits autumn and winter, daytime and evenings, and works well for those who want a smoky scent that still feels clean and modern. Its restraint makes it suitable for the office in colder months. People who enjoy campfire and wood notes without sweetness will find it a calm, focused choice.
