You absolutely have to test it on your skin!
I tested - forewarned - on paper strips first:
and there the tar only bites very briefly and a cool, smoky camphor note develops within a very short time, which then turns into a spicy, smoky woody note.
Beautiful! That would have been a straight 9 for me!
So the test followed on the skin:
and there the penetratingly pungent smell of the tar lasts much, much longer and actually goes through different aromas during this time:
sometimes it smells like the wood protection glaze for garden furniture, sometimes like something heavily coked, sometimes like the tar work used in road construction, sometimes like the brown train ointment, another time like a charred tree stump...
... sometimes extremely smelly, sometimes acridly pungent, at other times strongly spicy.
The spicy, cool camphor is completely absent from the fragrance on my skin and remains clearly tarry right to the end in the strongly smoky base.
Exciting at any rate - but nothing I would want to smell like.
