What do reviewers say about Birch and Warm Bulb?
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
Not a cozy vanilla fragrance. The opening is strange and almost industrial before softening into something genuinely tender.Warm Bulb
