Dusk

The Woods Collection · 2020

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

The Woods Collection Dusk is a unisex scent that pairs the fruity freshness of bergamot, mandarin orange and apple with jasmine, violet and geranium, and it suits fall and winter evenings best. Overall it is sweet and fruity: bergamot, mandarin orange and apple set a bright fruit tone, while jasmine, violet and geranium add a soft floral side. Patchouli grounds the sweetness in a woody, spicy base, and a faint oriental warmth stays in the background. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, spring comes next, and few choose summer. It is favored for night outs and evenings, and it also works for daily wear. Voters lean toward calling it masculine or modern, though it wears as a true unisex.

Royal Night

8.2

The Woods Collection · 2020

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

The Woods Collection Royal Night is a unisex scent in which leather, oud and frankincense give a smoky, resinous character, softened by the sweetness of rose and raspberry. Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, while daily and office wear are much less common. Half of the voters call it masculine, though it works as unisex. As a whole it rests on a leathery, woody frame. Leather, oud and birch build a smoky base, and frankincense and amberwood add a resinous warmth. Rose and raspberry bring a floral, fruity sweetness that balances the harder edges, with a spicy, oriental feel staying in the background.

Dark Forest

7.7

The Woods Collection · 2016

Green · Sweet · Spicy

The Woods Collection Dark Forest is a unisex fragrance that sets a green, sweet core against spicy, woody, resinous and smoky shades. The notes are neroli, vanilla, ginger and bergamot. Bergamot and neroli keep the green side bright, ginger adds spice, and vanilla sweetens and softens the whole. Earthy and oriental accords give the blend a darker backdrop. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring has a fair share too. It is chosen mostly for evenings, leisure time and nights out. Most voters read it as masculine, yet a good number call it feminine, which fits its unisex character. Christian Louboutin Loubihorse and Zara Warm Black have a close profile.

Green Walk

7.6

The Woods Collection · 2016

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

The Woods Collection Green Walk is a unisex fragrance that suits spring and autumn days, whether for leisure or the office. Most voters pick spring and autumn, summer follows, and winter lags well behind. Leisure, business and daily wear get the most votes. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though with few votes these ratings point to a tendency rather than a firm verdict. It smells fresh and green, with a light citrus and floral side touched by fruitiness. Neroli and floral notes set a bright base, while spices add a dry warmth. Vetiver and woody notes bring an earthy balance underneath. Mancera Kumkat Wood and Harry Lehmann Esterel have a close profile.

Bloom (Eau de Parfum)

8.4

The Woods Collection · 2020

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Eau de Parfum

The Woods Collection Bloom Eau de Parfum is a unisex scent that pairs a fresh, floral character with a sweet, powdery and creamy body. Lychee and Turkish rose build the fruity-floral side, while vanilla and frankincense soften the sweetness and add an oriental warmth. The fresh accord never takes over, but it keeps the scent from turning heavy or closed. Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, though the vote count is small, so this is a first impression rather than a settled verdict. Voters pick it most often for daily wear, then for nights out, leisure and business. Its value for money also scores high. Parfums de Marly Delina Eau de Parfum and Khadlaj Rose Couture have a close profile.

North Star

7.3

The Woods Collection

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

The Woods Collection North Star is a unisex scent that ties a fresh, citrusy opening to a spicy, woody base. The top is bergamot, grapefruit, lemon juice, mint and coriander, with pink pepper adding a sharp, spicy edge. In the heart, nutmeg, ginger and jasmine lead, while melon softens the sweetness slightly. The base of frankincense, sandalwood, labdanum and amber settles it down; the green, floral and smoky accords sit in balance within the woody frame. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, and its value for money is rated high. It suits men and women alike. Its profile is close to French Avenue Zenith Deep and Coral Perfumes Escape Noir.

Sunrise

8.7

The Woods Collection

Sweet · Gourmand · Spicy

The Woods Collection Sunrise is a sweet, smoky unisex fragrance that sets violet, vanilla and Cuban tobacco beside bergamot and gaiac wood. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though both ratings rest on only a small number of votes. Being unisex, it suits men and women alike. The sweet, gourmand side leads: vanilla brings a creamy warmth that violet softens. Cuban tobacco and gaiac wood build a woody, earthy and smoky base, while bergamot adds a light lift to that richness. Spicy and oriental accords round out the character. Mercedes-Benz Club Black (Eau de Toilette) and Yves Rocher Nuit Vanille have a close profile.

The Essence

8.0

The Woods Collection

Sweet · Synthetic · Spicy

The Woods Collection The Essence is a unisex scent that sets a sweet, spicy character over a woody, resinous and leathery base. The top opens with saffron, bergamot and cardamom, while grapefruit and cypress leaf lighten it a little. Cumin, jasmine and Bulgarian rose sit in the heart. The base of leather, oud, sandalwood and vanilla leaves a sweet, woody warmth. Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong, so it makes itself known around the wearer too. It reads neither masculine nor feminine. Emir Warm Leather and Penhaligon's Halfeti have a close profile.

Wild Roses (Eau de Parfum)

7.8

The Woods Collection · 2016

Fresh · Floral · Sweet

Eau de Parfum

The Woods Collection Wild Roses Eau de Parfum is a fresh, floral unisex scent built around wild rose and orange blossom. It opens fresh with citrus notes. In the heart, wild rose and orange blossom take over, forming a sweet, powdery floral core. Patchouli and vetiver give the base a woody, slightly spicy and resinous footing, while gourmand and animal touches add depth to the floral body. Its longevity is rated very strong, though that view rests on only a few votes. It suits men and women alike, and the woody base keeps it fuller than a purely sweet rose. Tann Rokka Aki and Alexander McQueen MyQueen have a close profile.

Secret Source

6.7

The Woods Collection · 2016

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Its profile is close to La Prairie Midnight Rain (Sheer Mist) and Yves Saint Laurent Libre Le Parfum.
