About smoked birch
Smoked birch is a captivating fragrance note that exudes warmth and depth, reminiscent of the aroma of birch wood gently smoldered over a fire. Its characteristics are deeply woody with a slightly sweet, leathery undertone, evoking images of cozy, fireside evenings. Originating from the process of slowly burning birch wood, this note captures the essence of the wilderness and brings an intriguing, smoky depth to perfumery. It is valued for its unique ability to add complexity and a robust, smoky backbone to fragrance compositions.

Synthetic Alternatives
While the authentic smoked birch note is derived from the natural burning of birch wood, synthetic versions are crafted through chemical processes to mimic its warm, smoky aroma. These synthetics offer consistency and sustainability in perfumery use.
Perfumer's Tips
In perfumery, smoked birch is best used as a middle note to introduce warmth and depth without overwhelming the composition. It should be used sparingly to complement and enhance the fragrance's heart without dominating the lighter top notes or the base.
