November

ok despite what the longevity reviews may say, this is one of the longest lasting perfumes ive ever had. in october 2024 i was in a bike accident and broke my leg. i had to be transferred to a secondary hospital to get a surgical implant in said leg, and after 3 days in the hospital and post-orthopedic surgery i could Still smell it on my skin and discarded clothes. granted i hadnt showered, but still i feel like this perfume is in a category of its own for me. its smokey, woody, wet and rainy.. like truly truly paints this smell-o-vision picture of being in a dense forest right after a rain shower, someone has a fire going in a cabin nearby. i can smell the petrichor, the wet pine, the resin from the trees, the rotting leaves on the wet ground. ive lived in in the PNW my entire life, so its a really nostalgic scent to me legit one of the best scents ive ever had and i get compliments on it constantly. i also find that it layers very well with other woody/smokey/warm perfumes, for me i like pairing it with Get a Room by Confessions of a Rebel. i want to personally kiss whoever made this perfume on the mouth sloppy style because truly theyve changed my life

Photo-realistic deciduous forest in October. Damp ground littered with multi-orange leaves for miles! A pleasant dose of tree bark, and a gentle cozy atmospheric sweetness in the background. Feels like a sunny day after lots of rain when you can smell water evaporating from the foliage as it starts to dry. This is a pleasing scent and easy to love! This house has many scents like that, strange enough to be remarkable but well blended enough to have wide appeal. Black Iris, French Oakmoss, Fireside Story, & London Fog are all in that realm. Tho they do have a few intentional challengers for the oddity collectors & they are so good! To smell these little creatures head straight to Gorgon, Vixen, and Siren.

more fresh on the opening than i anticipated- crisp forest air in the morning dew, fog still among the pine. petrichor, pine, and earth. as it develops, settles into decay in a similar fashion to leaves themselves. the soil notes and decayed leaves become more prominent, and the scent becomes more dryer as though stepping on and crunching dried leaves. dries into something earthy, woody, and green. however, this process happens relatively quickly, and the oil base has the scent start enormously strong but quickly become intimate. faint, though that could be personal habituation, but it was disappointing to fade so fast.

this perfume... wow. i am so glad i got this sample! it smells like a photo-realistic forest, so so beautiful. i haven't smelt a perfume like it. the only problem is that i found this at the wrong time! it's now summer in the southern hemisphere, and this scent doesn't particularly make sense for the weather now, but i will definitely be wearing this way more as autumn approaches and buy a new bottle. so good. new fave.

Damp, dark, mossy forest floor with soggy brown leaves and pine needles. A lil incensey and woody. Perfect for a chilly overcast day. Glad to see FSW is on Fragrantica, they’re local to my city and I adore everything from their collection. This one is my fave
