What it smells like

Black Hemlock delivers a dark, fog laden forest scent that feels leathery and smoky at first glance. A sweet balsamic base, reminiscent of black spruce, is undercut by subtle black currant undertones, giving it a slightly fruity depth. Perfumers use it as a base or mid note to evoke dense boreal woods, adding weight and a mysterious, smoky leathered character to woody and chypre families.
