What does Forest Walk smell like?

Oakmoss, hemlock fir and Pacific red cedar build a damp, wooded ground, while galbanum adds a sharp green edge. Benzoin and labdanum sweeten and soften the whole, with earthy notes and a smoky accord staying in the background. Violet and jasmine absolute lighten the heavier forest mood a little.

Voters find the longevity good and the sillage moderate, so the scent stays fairly close rather than filling a room. It reads as unisex. D:SOL MMXVI Terram and JMP Artisan Perfumes Fir of the Dark have a close profile.
