What does Sweet Pine Tar (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, so it sits closer to the skin than it projects. It is classed as unisex.

It opens with fir needle and terebinth, a green, fresh pine note. In the heart, patchouli, balsam fir, pine needle, frankincense and Bourbon vanilla soften it and add sweetness. The base of labdanum, Virginia cedar, charcoal and birch tar dries down smoky and earthy. Green and sweet accords mix with spicy, woody and creamy tones.
