What does The Woods (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with business use close behind. Most see it as masculine, while some call it classic or modern. rag & bone Encens and Strellson Loaded have a close profile.
It opens fresh, citrusy and slightly green with mandarin orange, ginger, bergamot, thyme and black pepper. The heart turns powdery and spicy through Iris pallida, nutmeg, absinth and red pepper. In the base, myrrh, cashmere wood, frankincense, musk, Siam benzoin and amber settle into a sweet, resinous, smoky warmth.
