If your answer is "that smell of burning gun powder is gun powder" please slap yourself in the mouth because I can't reach you from here.

Really, that is probably the best answer. It's most likely going to be the nitrocellulose, as I don't notice a significantly different smell between single base and double base powders. When talking single base powders, it's something like 95% nitrocellulose, so that smell of burning gunpowder really is just the gun powder.
Cordite is just the name of a double base smokeless powder used by the Brits a long time ago.
