Wood Land

Juniper wood in glorious, soft, green-tinged intensity. Sitting halfway between its earlier stablemates Rain Wood and Ink but lacking the sharper petrichor or ink notes of either. Instead just juniper, soft Atlas cedar, frankincense and dense moss. Light and fresh. A classic Lyn Harris peppery wood accord, gentle and naturalistic. Perhaps closer to the carpenter’s workshop than woodland but with the moss just keeping it on the cusp of nature. Tranquil, clean, subdued. I find it hard to distinguish from Ink . Wood Land is slightly greener from the juniper and waxier from the sandalwood, softer, mossier and more diffuse but there’s certainly no need to own both.

...alternative title Cedar land . It’s a nice woody, (cedar-)fresh, very gently spicy, quite gentle overall, like all Perfumer H. This is perhaps the first time I get that ’pencil shaving’ impression. It’s a nice perfume, a nice composition, no doubt about it. However, it’s not my favourite. There’s just too much cedar for me. I have tried too many of them. It’s like the same song is playing over and over. I understand there has to be a certain economy in buying materials for your company, but everything can’t be variations of what came before. I know this goes for every perfume house – but for some more than others.
