Foxcroft Intense

Mossy, dark, wet, spicy underneath; it's like stepping into an old nature center building on a rainy fall, or maybe early spring, day. The evergreen/pine-y smell mixed with patchouli and a bit of the smoke combines to a cinnamon-like heat. There is the distinct smell of rotting wood tying it all together.

Sampling this next to the OG Foxcroft, this has the same wet leaves heart note, but this version is deeper, sweeter, less damp green leaves and more mossy forest floor. On my skin the opening is marked by heavier sweetness and mossiness, and dries down to the same Foxcroft DNA.

a trudge through a fog-cloaked woodland. felled, decaying leaves litter the forest floor. wet, murky, overpowering—it's as though you're seeing, touching, tasting this forest through your sense of smell. no cold stone left unturned, no rotten log without mushroom. let me just say, WOW. calling this fragrance anything less than powerful would be a gross understatement. upon application, oakmoss hit me straight in the mouth. i mean really, truly, this scent is POTENT. it performed beautifully, wearing well throughout the day (even in spite of rainy conditions) and projected well. more subtle scent notes became apparent as time passed. however, there was absolutely, positively Never a moment i became noseblind to it LOL now, with this in mind, Foxcroft Intense is definitely not for everyone. i feel confident in saying some would find it Very offensive. but, if you're looking for something riveting, intense—kudos to the appropriate naming—i urge you to try it. it's left an unforgettable impression on me.

on first application, this smells like mushrooms to me. I definitely get the earthiness. Smells a lot better on my testing fabric than on my skin.

Just like the original Foxcroft + add man's cologne heavy on vetiver, oakmoss and levander. Very strong performance, but not as cool as the original.
