This bold and distinctive scent is often crafted using guaiacol derivatives or smoky accords, making it a key component in niche and avant-garde fragrances. Typically found in base accords, tar adds intensity and a rich, dark complexity that pairs well with spices, leathers, and woods.
Ideal for creating unique candles, dramatic room sprays, and edgy personal perfumes, the tar scent appeals to those seeking bold and unconventional aromas. Its raw, primal character makes it a standout in any fragrance composition.
