Feu Follet

Begins beautifully & hauntingly acrid, with some of the richest, rawest woodsmoke and leather I’ve encountered in natural perfumery. Upon inhaling further you can also immediately sense the pines lurking just below—as if before your eyes a searing hot iron was plunged deep into a log saturated with aromatic resins and tree saps. After fully roasting that log, only fragrant coals remain... This scent is their scent, still in the context of a crisp, Northern evergreen forest, fresh air blowing in the background... This could definitely be considered a difficult perfume as rather than being a typical leather or forest scent, the main event here is the smoke with the former as it’s accompaniments. It makes me think of a forester’s heavy leather gloves, smeared with pine from a long, cold day in snowy woods, set to dry next to a woodstove for the night—their aromas mixing and permeating throughout a log cabin as night passes by... There’s also a particular resemblance I receive to the scent of decaying leaves in the tail end of Fall—earthy, smoky and with an interesting, once thought inimitable balsamic tang. There’s also a moderate resemblance between some facets here and some found in Pomare’s Stolen Perfumes’ Piano Tuner 2025. It could also be considered a richer, smokier version of La Curie’s Incendo. The incense present here isn’t particularly forward but when focused on does lend a clean sanctity to the blend. The deep smokiness is derived mostly from gaiac, birch and pine tars, conjuring, to me, less of ‘barbecues’, though that connotation is certainly there, and more of the intimate, almost spiritual settings mentioned above. The resemblance of the pines here to those in Ghost Pine and Hemlock Shade can also easily be seen, including some of their characteristic misty, shadowy features. All in all, I find this to be nothing less than an entrancing, oddly tantalizing and delectable blend, that I prefer to don only in moments of solace and deep reflection. For lovers of leathers, forests and woodsmoke alike. Sillage moderate to strong, longevity superb. Lvnea truly exceeds all expectations in these regards given their natural parameters. Priced competitively in the niche market. Bravo, madames!!! Long live Lvnea!!!!!

Pine campfire That's what this fragrance captures. Wow. And I though I had smelled realistic campfire fragrances before! This captures the smell of not just the smoke, but the burning pine itself. This scent is transportative. A sniff takes me back to evenings spent camping and relaxing by a roaring fire. So good. Think of how clothing can smell after you spend time by a fire while sitting amongst pine and conifer needles... Smoke, resin, and wood. Amazingly realistic. Good longevity... And I guess projection too. You could spray this in a room with you gas fireplace and imagine it's wood burning. May be FB worthy

I love wearing this so much! It makes me feel strong and confident, and like I'm still wearing the shirt from sitting around a fire with friends! Wearing lots of this during pen and paper roleplaying sessions for additional adventure feel, but also a small amount in the office to carry me away to the forest when things get annoying.

Totally realistic burning pine. I was not sure if I could handle this scent based on the notes and reviews but I actually like it. Yes, it is very smoky but in a good way. Not a safe blind buy, not for the faint of heart.

Okay, yeah, it basically smells like a campfire. But it's more akin to the smell of one from far away, and it dries into something quite light and warm. Campfire scents can be very overpowering and this one manages to avoid it entirely.
