Juniper Ridge is Your Friend
At first I thought of a conspiracy: Juniper Ridge went underground (with its scents). Barnaby Black showed up. Was this the unofficial sequel, perhaps better placed for marketing reasons? On the other hand, the advertising style of both brands is quasi-identical. 100% nature in full broadside, inlaid, steamed, chopped. Lumberjack shirt instead of evening dress.
Right at the start: Even after testing all the brands, I can't say for sure. They are really very similar, in smell and in spirit.
Deep Slumber Mountain is my favourite out of the line. Why?
The strength of these "sauna nature" perfumes is sometimes also their weakness. Pure nature can be quite exhausting. I like these scents, even if they often end up in the room scent category with other perfumes (understandably). But especially in the coniferous forest scents you can usually find such a dry, sharp note, which is a permanent problem for me. This includes some Barnabys and the JRs also almost all.
DSM, on the other hand, is taking a good turn. In the beginning, I think of the fresh, camphor-like and then dry-sharp appearance of the additional pine. Slightly resinous in the background. But there I find the counterpart to the green antagonist, a slightly sticky sweetness that remains constant behind, while the coniferous forest retreats in the course of the day. Especially in the base this is pleasant and fragrant.
Radiation is intense in the first moments, but then quickly falls to close to the skin. It's okay. They don't want to fill the divided office with this anyway. Durability is with approx. 8h for me also in order.
Related fragrances:
- "Tiger's Nest" by KoRo Perfumes (rare, but also a great natural fragrance brand)
- "Seve de Pin" by DSH Perfumes
I don't want to give highest marks to DSM, because it is a situational fragrance and also more than perfume.
Nevertheless he manages the difficult balancing act between portable and "beautiful in space". If I were to get one of the Barnabys, it would be this one. Nature in the bottle.
