Fresh · Green · Spicy

eSENSielle In the Woods is a fresh, green and woody unisex scent with a faintly smoky, forest-floor feel, suited to spring and autumn days. It opens with Canadian hemlock, galbanum and juniper, while pink pepper and cistus add spice and resin over the cool green. In the heart, black pepper, mint and Siberian stone pine build an earthy greenery, softened by elemi resin and geranium. The base settles into labdanum, balsam fir, cedarwood and amber, leaving a woody, resinous trail. Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn, followed by spring and winter, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear. It reads more masculine than feminine, though many voters see it as feminine. Miller Harris Vetiver Insolent and Chanel Sycomore (2016) have a close profile.
