The forest is medicine for the soul
My second review. I am rather a friend of short, crisp statements, but the characters are simply not enough to describe this fragrance.
Upon first spraying it on, I was overwhelmed, not because I liked what I perceived so much, but because it felt like it scorched my nasal mucosa. The start is a biting, medicinal herbal blend with vetiver. At first I thought to myself. "Oh well, they just put perfume on gasoline in Russia."
Fortunately, the first shock does not last long. The biting disappears in the first two minutes. The medicinal touch lingers a little longer and I was eager to see the fragrance develop.
With "Woods in Fog", one might expect a certain lightness in the fragrance. Here, however, you have to wait some time in the course. After the medicinal note, the first thing you perceive is something that I can only describe with a figurative association: Moss-covered, damp roots - the driftwood note - digging out and through heavy, wet earth. Like a forest path just after rain with nettles growing on the left and right sides in the shade of the trees.
Then the vetiver note settles, it never quite disappears, but makes room for the smell of leather, but unlike the earth, it's not heavy and dripping wet. Maybe a little damp, but it's a scent you know. This leather-vanilla combination that is not oppressive, but very pleasant and warm. With this leather-vanilla note also happens something very interesting in the course of the fragrance. Then it comes namely the lightness that the name promises. As if the warmth of the leather and vanilla dries the ground and a vapor rises from it. The eponymous mist. A warm, slightly sweet mist, quite in contrast to the wet earth that disappears almost completely.
That's what's left in the end. Light, misty leather with vanilla and a gentle note of vetiver in the background.
The sillage of the fragrance could be a little better. The durability is good.
The fragrance is very wearable and the journey through the development of the course was nice and worth every penny.
