January Scent Project Northern Flicker is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by John Biebel. Northern Flicker opens with Bergamot, Peppermint, Spearmint, and Hedione, settles into a heart of Canadian Fir Balsam, Blackcurrant Leaf, White Ginger Lily, and Pine, and dries down to a base of Thailand Oud, Musk, Amber, and Vetiver. January Scent Project's Northern Flicker carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Northern Flicker smells like a walk through a cold pine forest, with mint and fir up front and tobacco, oud and labdanum underneath. It is unusual, outdoorsy and rewarding if you like your woods crisp rather than sweet.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Northern Flicker opens with peppermint, spearmint, hedione and bergamot, which give a cool and airy start. The heart is deeply green and resinous, with pine, poplar buds, Canadian fir balsam, blackcurrant leaf, white ginger lily, tobacco and clove. The base brings clean musk, musk, hiba, labdanum, vetiver, Thailand oud and amber. The result is a fresh, woody forest scent with a smoky, resinous warmth beneath the chill.
