Enchanted Woods

I'm just gonna say it: Enchanted Woods is my favorite Pacifica (thus far) and overall an excellent perfume, at least in my opinion. I get that this is a little divisive given the perfume's mentholated overtones, but idk, I'm an oddball who enjoys mentholated and camphorous scents, and besides, I don't find that aspect of the perfume to be very strong. And yeah, I have to agree that it smells really hippie dippy, which is also very much my vibe. For me, it kicks off with sharp, gin-like juniper, which fades quickly but still hangs around to color the experience of the rest of the perfume. The opening reveals itself to be quite the bouquet -- geranium and patchouli, a touch of bergamot and vetiver, all twining together to make this surprisingly sweet-floral accord that somehow manages to be creamy too. That is the main experience of the perfume from start to finish. It lives up to the name Enchanted Woods, in my opinion. Green, alive, in bloom, magical. Fairies and gnomes in forest shadows, holding conference on toadstools. The final remnant of it is strangely vanilla-adjacent. Explosive performance at first, then drops off quickly to a comfy scent bubble. I do wish it lasted longer until becoming a barely detectable skin-scent -- 4 hours or so. But it does wonderfully and clothes and especially on hair -- I love the feeling of Enchanted Woods rising from my hair on a cold evening. Reminds me a lot of Pacifica's Himalayan Patchouli Berry, but less sugary-fruity sweet. All in all, I can't believe they discontinued Enchanted Woods, it kicked butt. I will be cherishing my bottle until the inevitable heat death of the universe.

I really love this. I bought the mist and the perfume and love them both. To my nose they smell the same and both have good sileage and lasting power. On first spray this is slightly sharp woody fragrance but dies down very quickly to a slightly sweeter woody smell not quite sandalwood but sweet like sandalwood is. I'm not good at describing fragrances but I really love this one a lot and I heard they may discontinue it so I will be buying a backup bottle soon. Price is ridiculously low right now if you buy directly from Pacificas website also. This is in my top fragrances that I love and I have many in my collection. I dont see vanilla in the notes but to me it is a little like a Vanilla Woods fragrance, just cant say how much I love this enough. I would not call it a safe blind buy except that right now its only $11 so maybe it is. If it smells too sharp to you on first spray just give it 5 minutes. Worth the wait. For some reason this site never lets me choose "love" can only choose like for fragrances, love does not appear in the box for me.

Pretty! Just received this lovely bottle--great design as usual for Pacifica. The perfume is unusual for them--the initial blast is heavily evergreen with a mild sweet and floral base. The cardamom is initially less evident but on me, comes to dominate after a few minutes. Pleasant and earthy; I'm going to wear this all winter. Update: been wearing a while, still a fan, but like a number of their scents, I have to reapply frequently.

If this smells like cleaning products, I want to know where you got your cleaning products because I want to buy the whole line. I totally don’t get the reference to gin and tonic either. I get a huge wallop of cardamom, with a nice bit of dry vetiver and medicinal patchouli. Like L’Elephant lite. Super yum!

Enchanted Woods is lovely...it's heavy on the bergamot and juniper...very fresh and natural smelling...cute bottle and great price point...sits somewhere between the long discontinued Avalon Juniper (less strong) and Tibetan Mountain Temple (less spice)...
