Swedish Wood

Imagine chopping of some wood in a snow-capped forest while eating a fresh green apple. Add some pungent, a tiny bit salty, rosemary to it and you'll get Swedish Wood. If that suits you, you will love the first 45-60 minutes of Swedish Wood, as the opening sometimes lasts even longer than that. After that i pick up a hint of rose complemented by some light woody accords. The rose is much more gentle compared to Frederic Malle's Promise. Moreover, the oud is barely detectable. Nothing smoky, nothing dark in here...remains fruity/woody til it dies. Not your typical Rose/Oud scent, instead a nice aromatic twist which starts of fresh and slowly developes into a dry but warming scent. To put this into a "sexy" category would be exagerrated, but it's certainly alluring and collects a compliment every time i wear it. All the magic of Swedish Wood lies in it's sillage. I personally think that this shines in snowy settings as it projects a very strong and inviting trail behind you. That being said, do not wear this if you aren't in a very cold environment. Finally, this isn't for young & urban styled people, but anyone from 30+ can wear this and i think it leans masculine. Not safe for blind buy but i recommend everyone to sample it. In three words: "Apple-fresh, Lumberjack, Winterwonderland"

Super high quality juice in gorgeus bottle. Some people talk about how similiar it is with Promise from Malle, but for me it's different though going to the same direction. Woody, oudy, aromatic, spicy, and smoky leathery. The beauty is addressed in its complexity. Sweet green apple, slightly floral, strong rosemary aromatic, then followed by spicy clove, smoky accord, and creamy oriental woods. You can detect a prominent cypriol that give it a unique touch. Everything end up to a gorgeous regal dry down of oud, labdanum, vetiver, and patchouli combination. For me it is almost combination of A City On Fire, Promise, Laudano Nero, and Shaghaf Oud Aswad. Dark, sexy, woody, smoky, oudy, regal, and charismatic. The performance is really good, both longevity and sillage is astounding.

To me this comes off as quite leathery, enough that I think this has the same leather accord that’s used in Tuscan Leather. Maybe it’s from the saffron/Oud combo, not sure. It also kinda reminds me of Tom Ford’s “London,” because TF loves using that leather accord in many of his fragrances. This is very good but for me it’s not really full bottle worthy, I just have too many similar fumes in my collection to justify purchasing Swedish Wood for its price. I strongly suggest testing it out because it really is good and hopefully it works for you and it’s not redundant in your collection. Scent 5/5 Originality 2/5 Performance 5/5 Leans masculine. Smooth and well blended. This is based off a decant I received from a friend.

عطرٌ جعلني ان اصرف النظر عن عطر الوعد من دار فريدريك مال التفاح فالافتتاحية فريش ويلحقها رائحة براعم القرنفل ليظهر العود مع لمحات خضراء عطر جالب للاطراء وخاصة العطر يتيمز بجمال رائحته عند شمها في مكان مفتوح اداء العطر نوووووي

Very similar-almost the same- as FM Promise. But for me this is the winner as Promise has more rose which makes it a bit feminine for me. Swedish Wood is very well balanced with its notes.
