The opening mix of sweet and spicy in harmony actually very pleasent and nice coniferous greenery. loaded with animalic but tamed by other aspects of the scent. castoreum and musk being both very noticable ambergris and civet not so much for me.
the birch tar softens the animalics and makes them less in your face kinda animalics with is good. this would go wild if the animalic were not tamed down with other aspects.
Its not purely sweet spicy and animalic. there is the sandalwood also makeing it bit creamy with the vanilla and adding that nice little touch of woodiness to it that definetly benefits the composition. would also say its bit earthy atleast i get some hints of earthy aspects.
