Nikura Birch Tar Essential Oil - 10ml | for Aromatherapy, Diffusers, Humidifier, Bath | 100% Pure Natural Oils | Great for Self Care, Massage, Skin, Hair | Vegan & UK Made

A very strong and unique scent. Not as enjoyable on its on but great mixed with others.

Smells like a bonfire, but not unpleasant. I love the scent. Very earthy and just takes me back to happy times. Does come out quick so he careful. Very potent. Worth a purchase.

The oil has a carateristic dark brown color and smells like a smoky woody thing with caramel notes - very strange but not disgusting at all. I am using it diluted in coconut oil for massage. I gave only four stars because the cap was a bit defective and I had to try different techniques to open it safely. The oil seems to be a good quality one.

While the bottle in the add shows clear birch oil, thi is as it says birch TAR. The tarry elements smell strongly of smoke and ash and overwhelm the birch smell.

Love the smokey tarry smell, but its a very potent aroma and also drips very quickly so use with care.Will easily overpower other aromas if used in a mix.

Hmm, having found I can now watch a wood fire on my tv, thanks to youtube, and dream that we have a real fire burning away in our (chimney-less) living room, I wondered if I could replicate the aroma of burning wood logs using this oil in a diffuser. Sadly this is NOT the way. I found this repulsive.

This is exactly what I was after when trying to add a smoky base note to my home made beard balms. I've added it to a couple of my recipes and its had the desired effect. Be careful though, one drop goes a long way, and when used with a heavy hand, it simply smells like some one left the window open during a bonfire.

It certainly does what it's meant to. I used it in a perfume to emulate a campfire smell, which it does, though it was a little tricky to get the right amount in, as it's very intense smelling and too much begins to smell quite meaty.
