This is the olfactory equivalent of a medieval alchemist’s workshop – where shadowy corners conceal untamed raw materials waiting to intoxicate the brave. The birch tar lends a sacrificial pyre smokiness that lingers like a whispered secret.

“Not a fragrance – an experience reserved for those who understand darkness as a companion rather than an absence.”
