What does Soft Woods (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Black pepper and juniper berry open it spicy and fresh. In the heart, Egyptian Rosa centifolia absolute adds a soft floral touch while balsam fir absolute brings out the green, woody side. The base turns smoky and resinous with Ethiopian frankincense, softened by musk and Indian Bourbon vanilla.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, though the vote counts are small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It reads as a balanced woody floral that suits men and women alike. Aedes de Venustas Encens Japonais and Clive Christian Matsukita have a close profile.
