SmokyWhat does La Foret Russe smell like?
It opens with saffron, herbs, thyme and sage, a spicy, slightly bitter greenness. The heart turns cool and resinous with Siberian stone pine and cypress. The base settles into vetiver, cedar, frankincense and oakmoss, smoky and faintly animal, while Sumatran benzoin and gurjum balsam soften it with a resinous warmth.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evenings and leisure time lead the occasions. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, with a classic character also noticeable. Comme des Garçons Monocle Scent One: Hinoki and Aēsop Hwyl have a close profile.
