The note reminiscent of smoke is the (Greek treasure of the island of Chios) known as MASTIC.

This product has absolutely nothing to do with products in similar or nearly identical boxes, appearances, or names; we are talking about completely different products. As the saying goes, you can’t compare apples and oranges.
As you can see in the photos, something has darkened at the bottom of the bottle. This is proof that the product is vintage and that its contents are mostly natural/plant-based, unlike modern products.
Some natural/plant-based ingredients are not fully soluble in alcohol, such as genuine bergamot, which forms sediment over the decades and can be shaken into flakes. The same occurs with patchouli and vetiver—all plant-based ingredients with high viscosity.
Due to the abundance of plant-based ingredients in the product, clumping (grains) may occur. If this happens, shake the product for 3–4 minutes. Possible variations in color or microscopic particles suspended in the liquid do not affect the quality of this fragrance.
