What does Pacific Forest smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. It reads neither masculine nor feminine, leaning mostly towards woody and smoky.

Fir balsam, pine and cedar build the woody frame, while hemlock fir absolute and oakmoss absolute add a green, earthy depth. Clove absolute brings spice, and vanilla and benzoin absolute soften the resinous side. The result is a cool, slightly smoky forest impression. American Perfumer Bloodline and Rook Perfumes Forest (2020) have a close profile.
