This is how you make even an Easter fire appealing to me.
Due to the interesting comments, I imagined this scent. My taste in fragrances is quite diverse, but I really weaken when it comes to orientals, and this one sounds really interesting.
And it is indeed.
The scent changes very little over time, and unfortunately, the sillage is absolutely below average. But what you can smell is wonderful. Birch tar smells a bit like burnt wood. But not sooty and dirty, rather smoky-soft with a clear woody note. It pairs very well with the leather, which appears quite dark and heavy here. I only perceive a hint of oud. In fact, it's mostly just at the beginning. Just like a bit of fresh-green, which can only be the grapefruit peel. I wouldn't have come up with that on my own because nothing here smells citrusy. The smokiness increases over time. But always with a slight freshness in the background. There’s no stuffy smokehouse bits here.
The scene I have in mind is as follows: Imagine you lit an Easter fire in a forest clearing the day before (this is still customary for us, I don't like it at all because a lot can go wrong... and please don't do such things in a forest clearing. That only works in fragrant daydreams). A bit of smoke lingers in the air, mixing with the woody forest scent. Also, it rained in the morning, and the grass smells really nice and moist and fresh (at least where it hasn't burned, pfft).
So I get annoyed that people have to mess around with fire in nature again because it's tradition, but at least it smells good. This mixture of green-fresh and smoky-woody is really beautiful. And since the sillage is unfortunately so weak, the scent can surely be worn well in summer. However, I would recommend it more for the evening. Because despite the freshness, it is somehow a dark and very mysterious scent.
Fortunately, I bought a large bottle. Now I can practically douse myself with this wonderful stuff, which is unfortunately sorely needed. That way, Orient Treasure lasts until the evening.
Anyone who likes it smoky but still fresh and exciting should definitely try this wonderful scent. For both ladies and gentlemen alike.
