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.

A surprisingly wonderful fragrance for it coming from a luxury skincare brand! It is also, funnily enough, my go-to scent at the moment. To me, it smells like sugared pine, lemon zest, creamy woods with tonka and an amazing aromatic spicyness that interestingly enough reminds me of gingerbread cookies. It’s a very welcoming, easy and mild fragrance that works wonders when you simply want to smell clean, pleasant and inviting. I can’t really say that it’s a hands down duplicate of Bal D’Afrique, but they are definitely sisters. The only downside of White Forest is that it doesn’t last long — for me, it stays for only a couple of hours. I have both the lotion and the fragrance oil, so it lasts a bit longer, but you shouldn’t have to buy the scent in multiple expensive formats for it to actually last.

This is my favorite in the discovery set. It is so fresh yet has this round warmth to it as well. It is so perfect for spring! I wore the last bit of the tester yesterday (I’m buying the full size as soon as I can, but they’re sold out right now) and I, legit, got a woman in the grocery store point towards me in line and say, “SOMEONE smells AMAZING!” I thanked her and told her I was sampling some and this one was my favorite. She insisted I tell her the name of it. I’m quite the introvert, so it makes me uncomfortable, but I love to get a compliment on my scent. I’ve only ever been complimented on this and r!ddle original. Definitely signature worthy.

At first I got a pine tree kind of vibe like other people do. But lately I've noticed the citrus in it, it's not overbearing and very nice with a slight sweetness to it that still feels very fresh and clean. It's quite addicting and makes you either think of a crispy snowy day or when the first sun comes after winter. I do understand it smells unisex but leans a bit feminine for me. Very versatile use, you can go to meetings with this but you could also have this on like a hike trip.

Mmm this is a really well done lemon, nothing like cleaner. It's slightly sweet like lemon candy but mostly a fresh and green scent. Perfectly unisex. Lemon, tonka, violet, and birch dominant on my skin. Just really, really well blended, I love it. I am also definitely getting the 'cotton' and 'milky' vibes that others mentioned. Definitely a office-safe, classy scent. I can definitely see myself going back for the body lotion of this.

White forest is a safe blind buy, 100% true to its pyramide and office friendly with a decent longevity. I love the refreshing casis leaf opening gently transforming into slightly milky(tonka bean) birch sap with a little bit of woodiness to it, just a tad spicy. Soft and intimate companion that feels luxurious and private. Touch and feel of the bottle is on par with the juice inside: sophisticated, minimalistic and hard to let go.

Literally the winter sister to bal d’Afrique. They are different enough that it’s justifiable to own them both and I do for both halves of the year. White Forest opens bright and strong with the pine note, light streaming through fir trees. But then it turns slightly powdery like sparkling snow, a little masculine, and it’s just so addictive. It smells incredible in brisk winter air

I love this almost agressively :D wow! This is such a pleasant surprise! Good Job Bjork and Berries, again a FB worthy fragrance! The sweet lemon combined with the pine and just a touch of floral notes makes this a great all-year round unisex freshie that you should definitely try. If you like Bal d'Afrique check this one out, it might be even more to your liking!

This really smell like Bal d'Afrique from Byredo. That being said, I think Bal is a bit more sour in the opening, the citrus there really takes the centre stage... But for the next development I prefer White Forest than Bal, it has more character, albeit the scent is very close to the skin. It's a moderate performance perfume, Bal's longevity is better though.

this scent is the PERFECT clean/fresh/aromatic/woody for all year round! there's a bright citrus, followed by an evergreen type of pine needle scent, and a resinous woody base with some tonka and cedar. truly etheral wood nymph vibes, the lotion would really hit because to me this does smell like something that would be at a sauna in some remote mountain town.

I was lucky to catch one of the last perfume oils from a webshop in Norway. It is a very unique and wonderful smell. White, crispy, cold and fresh with a hint of sweetness... It is absolutely great. Now I try to find samples or decants of the other two perfumes (Dark Rain and Never Spring) and I'm looking forward to hear something about the White Jasmine.

This perfume may be a distant cousin to Byredo’s Bal d’Afrique. The vetiver is very prominent, which might make it a bit more masculine-leaning to some people. It’s also way more spicy and less citrusy in my opinion. Even though there aren’t any cardamom notes listed that is what I smell. If you want to smell like a danish christmas, this is it! :-)

This, Violet Sky and Vanilla Veil are my 3 favs from Bjork. White Forest is the cleanest, smoothest fragrance. What I love most is the dry-down. It's so soft and clean. I cannot stand when perfumers make a sharp, screechy dry down to appease the "I need it to last forever" crowd. NO sharpness here. Just ethereal beauty. Well done!

It’s a really musky, nuzzly, clean white scent. It’s beautiful and seems to wrap around like a mist. On my skin I can really smell the pine and cedar but it’s a soft sillage.. on clothes the musk is stronger but still beautiful and fresh. I love it iT dries down to a softly sweet milkyness and lasts a moderately long time on skin

The initial hit of sweet mandarin citrus fades into a gorgeous fruity, woody fragrance. It reminds me of Lush’s “Comforter” bubble bar, with a distinctive Ribena note, but the cedar / pine base adds a masculine edge. An interesting unisex option!

I bought the perfume oil. It's an amazingly wonderful scent! Fresh green forest, citrus and a pinch of spices 💙 It lasts surprisingly long on the skin. I'll definitely buy the perfume! Signature scent - did I just find you?
