Real talk
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
This is the fragrance for someone who wants vetiver and nothing else. No florals to soften it, no sweetness to apologize for. Just the dry, earthy depth of roots and bark.Encre Noire
