Bouleau Goudron Essence Finlande.
« A l’origine, à Grasse, on parfumait les gants de cuir. J’ai imaginé un gant de fauconnier chauffé par le soleil, dont on sentirait autant le côté lisse puissant que le côté daim souple. »
Wore this on a sunny afternoon and kept catching whiffs of that leather-glove vibe—it’s like the birch and the warmth blend into something really polished, not harsh at all. Lasted through a full workday on my skin, which surprised me for a perfume this refined.
That dry birch tar opening is so smooth and smoky, it genuinely smells like well-worn leather gloves from a falconer. The way it warms up on the skin over a few hours is subtle but commanding, and I keep catching whiffs of it all day.
The sun-warmed birch tar note is what got me—it’s smoky and raw but never harsh, like worn leather gloves left on a windowsill. I sprayed it on at noon and could still catch faint traces on my scarf after dinner.
