Smoky & Earthy

Birch tar smells like charred wood smoke mingled with burnt rubber and leather—think of a blacksmith's workshop or a bonfire that's been smouldering for hours. It carries an almost medicinal, slightly acrid quality, with whispers of earthiness and creosote (that distinctive smell of old railway sleepers). Rather than pleasant alone, it's an arresting, austere scent that commands attention—smoky, slightly dry, with an undertone of something both ancient and industrial. It's undeniably masculine and rather forbidding.

Citrus

Prunol smells like a juicy plum that's been kissed by sunshine—simultaneously fruity and slightly floral, with a warm, almost honeyed sweetness underneath. Imagine biting into ripe, purple fruit with soft skin, then that subtle almond-like quality that emerges from the stone. There's a velvety texture to it, less sharp than citrus typically is, more like the fleshy, indulgent part of the fruit rather than the bright zest. It carries whispers of rose petals and honey, making it feel almost creamy on the olfactory palate.
