Woodphoria (2025)

First things first: I've never smelled the original and actually prefer this bottle design to the other. This is the androgynous, effortlessly cool girl who's a little bit of a loner by choice since she has a cool artsy job (think fashion editor, museum curator or Afro-house DJ) that often keeps her social against her will. She's in her late 20s-early 30s and her plants are her babies. Raised on the bustling streets of the Northeast, she’s found peace in the misty mountains and overcast skies of the Pacific Northwest, her new (and likely forever) home. The fig + coconut combo is a dream, wrapped in the earthiness of cedar and sandalwood, sprinkled with the sweet spice of cardamom. This is a beautifully warm, lactonic scent that dries down musky and slight sweet. Three words: sensual, effortless and velvety.

LOVE! Smells like a nice bonfire during a fall night, hanging out with friends and being carefree. It's so effortlessly fresh and woodsy, with a nice touch of creaminess that gives it a more unisex profile and eliminates that screechy blast some wood scents can give. Opens up so bright, green, and slightly spicy but inviting, then dries down to the best, sweet clean-smelling woody scent, which lingered on me a decently long time. If you're into cool-girl scents that no one else has, I think this would be absolutely perfect.

Sweet, woody coconut, no pickle vibe at all if Santal 33 has scarred you like it has me. It projects pretty well for the first half hour, then is more intimate (sampled on a hot day). It smells a lot like Le Monde Gourmand's Chai Épicé on my skin, but woodier, and I actually prefer Woodphoria. After two hours, it's mostly cedar, and the dry down reminds me a lot of Burberry (for Women/original). I don't care for the bottle, it looks like it's marketed to teens.

Never tried the 2022 version but picked up a travel size of the new formulation. I was craving something woody while at the beach in the high heat and this doesn’t disappoint. Coconut, fig, and jasmine keep it from feeling too masculine or heavy. Will definitely be purchasing a full bottle. Love finding affordable fragrances. Jerome Epinette does no wrong in my book.

SO gorgeous and lasts so long on my skin, such a unique scent that combines woody, earthy and florals. I love boy smells but some of their scents come out too sweet for me and this was a perfect happy medium, layers so so well with spicy or other woody scents. Reminds me the smell of the interior of a 70s, wood paneled beach house.
