What does Honey and Tar / Мёд и деготь smell like?

The notes read as one whole: honey absolute, vanilla and tonka bean carry the sweetness, while cinnamon and cardamom add spice. Tar, castoreum and patchouli set a smoky, earthy base, and sandalwood and Himalayan cedar soften it with woody, resinous tones.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though few people have voted, so these figures are tentative. Warm and dense, it suits unisex wear and feels most at home in cooler weather. Réminiscence Patchouli and Tom Ford Oud Wood have a close profile.
