By the editors · 2 min readBirch tar opens smoky and slightly medicinal, with amberwood adding a warm synthetic-resinous backbone almost immediately. The entrance is dark and intense, signaling a leather-incense composition from the first breath.
Incense and leather form the heart in tight partnership — frankincense smoke curling around a tarry hide, with neither element dominating. The structure feels heavy and deliberate, built for cold-weather presence rather than freshness.
The base is unusual: raspberry and rose appear here rather than in the top, lending a fruity-floral sweetness that softens the smoky leather without erasing it. The overall character is a smoky-leather-incense composition with a sweet rosy undertow — dark in mood but with an unexpected glow underneath the smoke.
