Not A Deer

--"Oh look, a deer! ...Wait. What the hell?!" Notes of cedarwood, chestnuts, sandalwood, maple, oak, tonka, suede, clove, spiced vanilla, amber, and a three-tobacco blend. The "Not Deer" is part cryptid, part folk legend, common to Appalachia but found all over the world. The story is simple: You're out driving with friends when you see the flash of eyes in the woods along the road. Just a deer, you think, but you slow the car just in case it bolts in front of you. As you approach, you see that it's a deer, but... not. There's something horribly wrong with its leg joints or its teeth. Maybe it stares at you with the eyes of a predator, or even stands on its hind legs. You hit the gas and rush home, heart in your throat. What was that thing? Our homage to this creature is far less scary, but just as happy in the woods: a fragrant blend of cedar, maple, oak, and chestnuts, with spices, amber, and tobacco warming things up like the sun on autumn leaves.
