What does Forest (2020) smell like?

It opens with pine and cypress, giving a forest-like, resinous feel. Cannabis, frankincense and black pepper in the heart add a spicy, slightly smoky tone. In the base, patchouli and cedar keep the earthy woodiness going, while white musk softens it all.

Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, though plenty choose winter too. It leans towards leisure and evenings, and more voters read it as masculine, though it stays unisex. Rook Perfumes Forest (2018) and Aēsop Hwyl have a close profile.
