Honey and Tar

It starts with a balsamic note and very prominent conifer sap- the one that shows on the pine tree trunk if there is a cut. I do not think it reminds of the TRex as TRex is very churchy due to its sweet frank/incense note (that ruined the whole experience for me personally). This one is much more bitter- towards tar, conifers, wood and bitter balsam. Do not feel any honey, but there is a good bit of sweet leather. Speaking of very similar perfumes- it definitely reminds of Bois Sikar by Atelier des Ors and A city on fire by Imaginary Authors. All 3 smell like a burnt pine forest (in a good way). Heavy, dark, Very smoky, more masculine than unisex, woody, tarry. When settles, it becomes a bit less intense but still tarry enough. Nice if you like these type of notes, but too heavy if you expect a woody aftershave.

This smells like a baby Tyrannosaurus Rex. I'm thinking about the Zoologist kind. ;) Honey and Tar opens with a very smoky, tarred logs smell. There are prominent undertones of something coniferous and a strange, sharply green, herbal vibe as well. This is the part of the fragrance that really reminds me of Zoologist Tyrannosaurus Rex, but Honey and Tar is a tad softer than T-Rex. It's a baby T-Rex, clawing it's way out of the cracked egg. A faint, soft, very organic sweetness looms in the background. It doesn't feel animalic. It's more a smooth, floral honey type of sweetness - and it comes accompanied by something that feels like labdanum and vanilla. This soft, sweet, vanillic labdanum smell becomes more pronounced until it takes over the entire scent. And it stays by your side, like a mild and warm hearted friend, until the very last whiff. Sillage is heavy right away, during the smoky and aromatic phase, but dries down to a more pleasant medium after about 30-45 minutes or so. Longevity is good. I can detect this scent on my skin for 6-7 hours.
