White Forest

-the notes listed is not correct and missing some key point . notes on official site lists like this : White Forest Eau de Parfum is an homage to the ever-present inspiration – the deep Swedish woods. Aromatic and woody, this fragrance translates both the serene presence and the mysterious aura that epitomises the heart of the Nordic nature. Its reviving yet indefinable character awakens your senses and brings you straight to a long- lost forest of white birch and green pine. The composition is like a breath of fresh forest air. It captures the best of what nature has to offer, starting with the fruity and sweet nuances of orange and rhubarb, carefully combined with wondrous birch and aromatic fir balsam. Together with earthy vetiver and the intoxicating powdery-sweetness of Tonka beans, this fragrance carries the soul of the Swedish woods. I truly adore this scent , it has been on my radar for a wild but i never got a chance to test or grabb it. but finaly its mine , And wow this is just ME.. It starts up a bit masculine , just slightly, there is a sweetnes in the opening and thrue out the scent that realy makes my heart beat faster, the birch and pine mixes so well with slightly sweet rhubarb ,citrus and Tonka . the scent feels so familyer to me , but i can not for the life of me guess what it can be . It most sertenly is not a walk in the Nordic forest with birch ,violets and lily of the valleys . this isent that kind of natural scent realy , A fairytale and a dream like scent perhaps , but only in your mind , the nature it self is not captured in this scent, A big + for this scent is that it lasts along time to at least on my skin , still going strong after 7 hours . closer to skin but still notisable . Love love love this . realy want to test more from this line now .

I used to just read the comments from other people about different perfumes here. However, today I decided to create an account on fragrantica because of this perfume!!!!! Why? Yesterday I and my husband were about to go out and I was like, hmm let me wear some perfume. I sprayed this perfume on me in our sleeping room and my husband was in the living room and then he happened to pass by the sleeping room and all of a sudden, he asked me “ why does it smell like a scandinavian countryside here?” I was sooooooooo surprised as he is a man who has absolutely no idea about perfume! It reminds him of the time when he was biking in scandinavian forest! I let him smell my wrist and asked him what it smells like? He said it smells like birch!!! This is very unusual because he usually just can describe a perfume using one of these 3 words: bad / sweet / floral! I think this perfume is very successful in creating a sense of scandinavian forest! I loooooooove this perfume! It reminds me of a winter forest where the trees are covered by snow but at the same time it is super cozy and feels like cotton! I love it so much that I even got myself the hand cream, wash gel and body lotion from it!!! Love love love! I would say it also smells 90% like Byredo Bal d’ afrique but it starts a bit more “piney” because of the pine tree note here which makes this perfume a bit colder!!! Love it!!!!! Edit: OK, I own these two perfumes (Bal d afrique and White Forest), after wearing both of them for almost half a year, i need to correct myself, they don’t smell similar to me anymore. I really like Bal d afrique and I started to dislike white forest now! Very weird!!!!

Very nice perfume, but definitely a niche product. I don't recommend blind-buying. I always like to go off about the vibes perfumes give me so I'm going to start rambling about it here, maybe someone will find it helpful. This scent to me smells exactly like christmas - not in a warm spicy way, rather in a frosty clean way. This scent just reminds me of the colour white. Being a northern European, it reminds me of a cold winter holiday morning, walking under snow covered spruce trees with the sun shining in your eyes. The smell is very Scandinavian. I would say it is a day perfume, but I actually wouldn't hesitate to wear this to a quiet evening event either. For some reasons perfumes never seem to last on me, but this one - I could spray it once in the morning and I would still be able to smell it at midnight. And I mean that in a not-headache-inducing way. It's one of my most complimented scents, everyone seems to think it smells nostalgic and clean. And it's the only scent that people have said they immediately associate with me. While I personally think it does lean on the more feminine side, any gender can wonderfully pull it off. I would also like to think that any age group can make this scent work. Just wow - an all time favorite, only good things to say about this.

JAAAAA! Finally this is in the database - and FINALLY this has been launched as an EdP! Oh, how I have yearned for thee. My life is now complete. I have owned this fragrance in almost every product available; All from handsoap to dry oil. There is always something "White Forest" scented in my home. Always. And, even if I DO really like the perfume-oil, I really prefer the (organic) alcohol based spray. Covers more area, hähä. But to the fragrance itself. This is like walking in a Swedish enchanted forest, in a real "trollskog". If you are not familiar with the illustrator John Bauer, Google his works and you will be set in the right mood for this perfume. It smells like crisp forest air, wood and pine. And citrus, but citrus in like biting in to one of those pinesprouts or wood sorrel. It has a sort of fresh, "taking a deep breath" vibe going on, but over all it is actually quite a sad, melancholic fragrance. Not a "lemon/pine" barbershop fragrance, it is.. something else. Really unique! And HIGHLY addictive. Oh, and learning today that the creator of this has also done some of Byredos best scents was not at all surprising.

I have tested 4 perfumes from this brand, and White Forest is so far my favorite. I enjoy the simple and clean woody smell and this cozy and comforting vibe it generates. To me this is like Scandinavian forest in a bottle. It starts off with a mixture of citrus and red berries, tart and sweet, juicy and fresh. Soon it gets aromatic and musky. By aromatic I am referring more to the typical pleasant woody smell from evergreen trees. Next to it I get the clean laundry-like musk. After a while, powdery floral notes join the party, which enhances the clean laundry smell. The scent resembles a soap bar. To be more specific, it reminds me of the original Safeguard or Dove soap bar. At a later stage, it gets more and more woody, and even slightly smoky. You can easily recognize the cedar and pine in the drydown. It brings a soothing and calm vibe. The longevity is good. It lasts easily for a day. The sillage is fine, leaning to the weak side, but I actually appreciate it that it gets somewhat intimate.
