Stories of Billions of Years Breathing
Forest
Quiet-deep-dim.
Tree by tree...
Side by side...
Bottle green...
The pines
and their bark.
Tar seals wounds of human hands.
Forgotten...
Just a ring in their time.
Juniper wept bitter tears back then.
No mugwort grows today under cedars,
like in that time.
Human sound and smoke.
Once sniffing at the spicy forest floor.
Stories of billions of years breathing.

The mugwort at the beginning is almost piercingly sharp, retreating more and more until I can no longer perceive it. And I wouldn't know it was mugwort if it weren't mentioned above.
It forms a seamless transition to the fruity bottle green of the pine needles.
More and more notes of bark and forest floor creep in.
The cedar - the wood, juniper for a bit of freshness.
Leather is not relevant to me here. The forest is clearly in the foreground.
The tar, the smoke that everyone can smell, is just a trace on my skin. Therefore, I took the pitch used to seal wounds of trees and the transience of humanity. The scent has something melancholic about it. What I cannot perceive so clearly, I do not miss either, because this is a very successful forest scent for me. The perception of a fragrance is always a very personal impression.

Desert Drive
Silently, the desert sage wafts its sage over the sand, sharp and cool is the night wind, ethereal green shimmers over the land. The images here are sometimes bizarre. Chaparral of brush sows drifting tar sand like peat smoke into the Mojave. Sometimes it smells like boiling asphalt. Desert Drive. Then smoldering black shreds dissolve, flying into the needle-like branches of a mighty Pinyon pine, which carries the burning bitumen like spicy ragged clothes, through whose oily dark fabric the needle forests glow brightly, earthy barks shimmer, and the mild resins of a gnarled Utah juniper dance.
**
"The desert is a harsh place to survive and the plants that grow there have complex & powerful aromas," writes Mathew Sabatino, and indeed "Desert Resin" is the strongest and most complex fragrance of the house. It opens with ethereal sharp, sage-like desert sage, which soon blends into aromatic tarry creosote aromas, reminiscent of spicy peat smoke. In the heart, the distinctive Ponderosa pine increasingly shines through a fabric of bituminous tar sand, as if it were wearing a dress of oil and smoke, before the Utah juniper contributes mild-resinous, woody-earthy aromas in the base, evoking associations of mulch and dry needles.
Barnaby Black's fragrances are 100% natural, thus their longevity and projection are rather moderate, and they are subject to seasonal fluctuations: "Our fragrances are not romantic notions of a time & place, they are the places we harvest them from," it says on the homepage. "Desert Resin" moderately carries through the complex scents of the desert for up to seven hours.

Not Just the Fence!
„…in the midday heat, the fence is being repainted and afterwards the brush is cleaned.” These apt words are chosen by Bellemorte in her statement to describe the scent. This immediately reminds me of the story of Tom Sawyer, who cleverly gets the boys from the entire neighborhood to thoroughly paint a fence of several dozen square meters on his behalf and even pays them for the pleasure.

This episode soaked in rich color application not only fits ‘Desert Resin’, but the fragrance almost directly connects to it. Apparently, the street also needs to be resurfaced and various furniture needs to be glued anew. And at the fence, it’s not just one person swinging the brush; there’s a whole army involved, requiring a whole bucket full of solvent for the subsequent cleaning of the tools.

I haven’t smelled anything oily-tarry like this as a perfume in ages, if ever. A resinous-sweaty impression reminiscent of rubbing alcohol (well-known for treating sore limbs - for example, due to excessive manual labor) is almost overwhelmed. Ten minutes later, I smell buckets of paint, glue, or just some solvent, preferably all together. Etheric vapors, bright and pungent, waft around. Not unpleasantly fresh - but intense.

As it progresses, the tar really sets in. It’s no longer as biting as directly from the kettle, but rather like it was applied some time ago. The same goes for the paint, though this might make it even more lifelike. It’s just drying.

It’s exhausting, but it’s fun. Anyway, the work (of course, with so many helping out!) is done by mid-morning, and after about three hours, the rubbing alcohol comes into play again. In the afternoon, its sweatiness gradually gives way to something more akin to cumin, which is additionally enveloped in a balsamic note. In style, this now astonishingly reminds me of one or another aspect of ‘Interlude Man’. It’s surprising that, in connection with the North American resinous scents from Barnaby, an Amouage comes to mind for the second time.

However, I don’t think the mentioned one is the worst reference…

I thank Yatagan for the sample.

Slowly, the sharp and
smoky tar makes its way towards
the desert. It carries along juniper and woods
but quickly becomes tamer.

Ice-cold wind blows in the forest
collecting pine cones from
blue cedar, firing up the sauna
The snow melts from the tar
Fennel tea gives me strength.

Wood barrel, dark and spicy, sharp, reminiscent of old Rhum Agricole, then clearly the slightly fruity pine with a hint of smoke. Leather shoes...

Very strong scent, just the right mix of dripping-ethereal resin, damp needles, and tarry notes. Very well crafted.

Relentless sun, beside you a barren plant, you plunge your nose into the soft tar! Never ride a bike through Death Valley!

First: Diesel! Then wild sage and sun-baked wood take over with a beautiful reddish-brown texture. Exciting scent profile.
