Arboretum Smereka

Return to the roots. The breath of the Carpathians.

Smereka is a meditative fragrance that takes you to the heart of the High Pass. It is dedicated to the Carpathian fir trees - silent giants that have been watching the change of seasons for centuries and whispering ancient secrets to the wind.

The composition opens with bitter resinous chords, similar to the breath of oleoresin that has just appeared on a young pine cone. You can hear the tartness of pine needles, camphor freshness, wood smoke, as if you were standing by a Hutsul campfire in a downpour. Over time, the fragrance acquires a moist woody depth, reminiscent of the scent of a freshly sawn trunk or the tone of gin with a pine and herbal echo.

Olfactory palette:

Top notes: pine, water accords, white spruce, thyme

Heart: Carpathian spruce, lavender, green beech leaf, leather

Base: labdanum, cedar, freshly sawn wood, walnut, grey moss, musk

Smereka is not just the smell of a coniferous forest. It is a deep connection with the earth, with the ancient landscape, where every note reminds us that we grew up with these trees, with their silence, strength and memory.

For those who do not look for easy ways, but feel the depth of their roots.
