Full Scent Breakdown:
Smoky • Spicy • Woody • Earthy
Top Notes (First Impression)
-
Black Pepper (Piper nigrum): Warm, dry, and spicy — evokes the heat of freshly fired gunpowder.
-
Juniper Berry (Juniperus communis): Crisp, piney freshness that cuts through the smoke and keeps the scent sharp and clean.
Middle Notes (Heart)
-
Cade Oil (Juniperus oxycedrus): Deeply smoky and tar-like — delivers the core “gun smoke” and burnt casing character.
-
Texas Cedarwood (Juniperus mexicana): Dry, resinous wood note that anchors the smoke with a rugged backbone.
-
Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin): Earthy and musky — adds warmth and depth to the composition.
Base Notes (Lingering Trail)
-
Birch Tar (Betula lenta): Leathery, smoky, and slightly bitter — the truest representation of spent shells and gun oil.
-
Vetiver (Vetiveria zizanoides): Earthy, grassy, and grounding — adds the scent of dry soil and warm steel.
-
Amyris (Amyris balsamifera): Subtly sweet and woody, softening the harsher smoke for a smooth, balanced finish.
