North

Well this is just lovely and strangely addictive. A cedar sauna in Finland hung with dried flowers, snow falling outside, and skin rubbed with oils of jasmine, vetiver and bergamot... and yes, a bit of pepper. There is no one around for miles and there is a feeling of absolute peace. This is a very dry, earthy and woodsy perfume. I got this in "The Old Library" sample pack from Bloom and it was described as "An old monastery library". I can see that image too - the cedar beams, the earthy dust swirling in motes, the burning incense (patchouli, vetiver, and pepper have a frankincense-esque quality). It is, in essence, the smell of quiet places. The perfect meditative scent.

Absolutely gorgeous - the scent so captures alpine meadows and mountains. Not my usual mix of notes - but the dry cedar is really enhanced by the soft sprinkling of florals and an underlying earthiness. It gives an undeniable sense of being outside in fresh mountain air. Natural, distinctive + very beautiful! Meravigliosa! 😊

The best cedarwood that I have ever smelled on a fragrance, hands down. All the other notes give the dry forest ambiance. Strong projection and longevity. Love it so much, it is a pity it's expensive, but here you get what you pay for. Edit: you only live once. I will get a full bottle

Lovely soft scent that keeps me smelling my shirt when people aren’t looking it’s very light very good for the hot weather and other good one from a great house... Scent 8/10 Longevity 6.5/10 Comp factor 7/10

Welcome to a Swedish sauna... The scent of The North This is one of the first niche fragrance that entered in my collection. It is sharp, dry, elegant and simple, like Scandinavian modern architecture. What I get smelling this juice are many things not listed in the notes break-down. Apart from cedar (main player) which It's shown dry, freshly cut and raw, I feel incense and some short of eucalyptus... this could be the aldehydes playing with the vetiver and a pinch of citruses. The end result to me is like entering a 5 star modern Scandinavian resort, in the middle of a forestry fjord, where some incense is being burnt in the the entrance and you go inside the cedar-wooden sauna. Inside the sauna you may find this little bunches of eucalyptus branches, sauna whisks, to rub them in your skin, getting scent of The North. Uniqueness: High Scent: 7.5/10 Performance: Average Would I buy it: Yes (already in my collection)
