Fresh · Floral · Green

The Burren Perfumery Winter Woods is a fresh, green men's fragrance that sets bergamot, lemon and rosemary over a woody base of vetiver and cedar. It opens with bergamot, lemon and rosemary, a clean, sharp start of citrus and herb. At the heart, lavender and iris turn that freshness soft, powdery and floral. The base of vetiver, cedar and stone pine dries down woody, with a touch of sweetness and spice. Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it suits those who want a fragrance that stays close. Most voters pick spring and fall, though summer and winter work too. It leans towards business, leisure and daily wear more than evenings. Voters split evenly between calling it masculine and feminine, so it sits comfortably across both. Givenchy Gentleman Givenchy Cologne and Caron Le 3ᵉ Homme have a close profile.
