Finnish Birch Tar

Finnish birch tar is a traditional organic tar derived from the dry distillation of the bark of birch trees, predominantly found in Finland. This natural substance has been used historically for its antiseptic properties in various applications including the preservation of wooden structures and leather, as well as in medicinal remedies.

The scent profile of Finnish birch tar is notably intense and smoky. It features a robust aroma reminiscent of a smoldering campfire, underpinned by a deep, resinous, woody tone. The tar exudes hints of leather and earth, creating a rich, dark fragrance that can be both penetrating and enveloping. This unique, potent scent has also made it a valued ingredient in the perfume industry, particularly in creating leathery and smoky fragrances. Despite its strength, when diluted and skillfully blended, Finnish birch tar adds a profound depth and complexity to scented products.
