Norwegian Wood 苍茫

For those accustomed to the popular perfumes of the West, this fragrance may come across as weak and thin. This bottle, named Norwegian Wood, was created to evoke the vast misty forests of Scandinavia and the dawn of a temple at daybreak. It's a green woody scent far fresher and more ozonic than its name might suggest. The combination of cypress and juniper gives it a distinctly cold and dry impression. From there it transitions smoothly toward a warm and sweet cashmere wood finish. Depending on the person, it may read more as soapy or powdery than woody. n early summer, Japanese temples at dawn are cool and carry a wonderful fragrance. I think this bottle pairs beautifully with that pure and serene image. It's a spring and summer fragrance, and may feel a little too cool for autumn and winter use. The sillage is honestly not particularly strong, but for East Asians it's more than pleasant enough. Longevity is at most around 8 hours. This is not the kind of scent you wear to announce your presence to those around you or to mask body odor. It's something you put on quietly, just for yourself to enjoy. A lovely fragrance, though not an unusual one.

This scent is so weak I can barely smell anything except some faint vetiver, woods, and juniper. I'd have to bathe in it to get any use out of it. Lasts barely 5 minutes before it disappears.
