What does Tjärn smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it leaves a restrained but noticeable trail. Most voters pick fall and spring, with summer close behind, and it suits leisure time and the office. Voters split evenly between masculine and feminine, which puts it in between.
The top is black pepper, melon, cardamom and lemon, spice and fruit with a cool edge. In the heart, birch tar and Virginia tobacco add smoke, softened by raspberry and geranium. Vetiver, benzoin, patchouli and oakmoss settle into a woody, resinous base.
