    What do reviewers say about Birch and The Architects Club?

    Birch wears like a well-worn sweater found in an empty cabin. Not performative. Not trying to fill the room. The birch tar gives it an edge, medicinal, almost antiseptic.Birch
    Arquiste delivers a genuinely adult fragrance here. Complex without being complicated, sophisticated without being stiff. That smoky-woody finish is worth the wait.The Architects Club
