    Real talk

    Birch tar doesn't ask permission. It arrives with smoke, charred wood, and the kind of leather that tells you something happened. Some will find it too much. Most will find it doesn't let go.Hyde
    Black Tar does what most fragrances won't: it smells dangerous on purpose. The mineral-tuberose pairing is not a crowd-pleaser, it's a statement. Wear it knowing full well some people won't get it.Black Tar
