What does Through the Forest smell like?

Longevity and projection both sit at a moderate level, though the vote count is small, so treat that as a rough guide. Its warm, full-bodied build reads as masculine.

It opens with saffron, elemi resin and black pepper for a spicy start. In the heart, frankincense, spices and tobacco bring a smoky, resinous feel. The base of oud, vanilla and sandalwood softens everything and settles into a warm, woody finish. Kerosene Broken Theories and Al-Muhib Oud Gentleman have a close profile.
