smokily
In a haze
In a smoky manner—with visible smoke, haze, or a quality suggesting smoke.
Eyes can gaze smokily, suggesting sultriness or seduction: She looked at him smokily across the room.
A voice described as smoky might be delivered smokily—low, husky, suggestive.
The word also describes literal smoke: Incense burned smokily in the corner.
