Ecto-coolest Report post Posted 2 hours ago Hi all! I'm relatively new to indie perfumes and have found I'm incredibly fond of birch tar and woodsmoke notes. I am in search of the smokiest, least sweet scents BPAL (and possibly other brands) have. Current smoky favorites are Morari's Am I the Baddie?, Heretic Poltergeist (I know it isn't indie but it has the BEST non sweet birch tar I've found yet), and For Strange Women Fireside Story. I have heard Krampus' Shadow is good but discontinued. Share this post Link to post
sudenmorsian Report post Posted 1 hour ago I haven't tried too many realistic smoky perfumes but Hearthflame and Incense is the smokiest BPAL I've ever found. It's a Yule scent and maybe bit tricky to find right now, but I have it from 2024 Yules and it's very realistic tar and woodsmoke with only a hint of sweetness from the incense. It's not a sweet scent in any way though. I haven't tried it myself but I've heard Witches Burn Back is smoky scent too. Share this post Link to post
