CAS: 8001-88-5

Smells of: smoky, leathery
Role: woody-amber

Birch Tar Oil Clear has a strong, smoky, and leathery scent that opens with a robust, almost medicinal quality. As it develops, the initial harshness softens into a warm, resinous depth, reminiscent of charred wood and earthy undertones. This oil is effective in adding complexity and a rugged character to compositions, often used to evoke a sense of wilderness or the outdoors. It pairs well with woody notes, especially cedar and vetiver, as well as with aromatic herbs like thyme or rosemary. The clear grade indicates that it has been processed to remove some of the heavier, more tarry components, making it smoother and more versatile in blends.
