Birch tar, an unlikely obsession

The smoky heart of Noir Absolu comes from a material most houses keep at arm's length.

Smoke you can wear

Rectified birch tar smells of campfires, leather and wet stone. In excess it is brutal; in balance it gives a perfume a spine.

Noir Absolu uses it at the edge of what most perfumers would call reasonable, cushioned by labdanum and a little oud.
