This is a beautiful dark, woody forest scent that doesn’t drag you down. The deep notes in it are balanced out with a musky/powdery lightness that really lifts the whole scent. There’s almost an effervescence to it. This is comparable to my 2 favorite earthy/mossy/foresty fragrances (yet different enough to justify having all 3 :) it’s cooler yet more feminine than the “wood cabin in the woods” feel of Encre Noire, and warmer + more welcoming and a little lighter and brighter than Andrea Maack Coven… so far I’ve almost used up my samples & will be purchasing a larger bottle, it’s a perfect addition to my forrest collection :)
Also USPS lost my first sample for 3 weeks and customer service immediately provided another one when I inquired about it, top notch customer care!
