Albho

I get Feminite de bois vibes too, but cold ones, as noted by passionata20. Wonderful use of the mint. It's very chilly, but there is some warmth from pine and cedar. Also love the use of poetry to describe these perfumes, Bstefcorbin. "The language of flowers and silent things." So apt. This is such a peaceful, restful fragrance. How can I describe it as I feel it... yeah it's a minty cool wood, very natural smelling. But how does it make me feel? Like I'm sliding on snow slowly down into a dense forest, close approaching a warmed house with a fire rolling inside. This fragrance literally blossoms on the skin. It unfolds from silvery cool petals to something dark, amberish, resinous, while still feeling fresh and outdoors. The most remarkable use of pine I think I've crossed, it's a magical fragrance. Wherever this is, I wanna be. Perfect for capturing some winter in the fall, or reminiscing in the spring. 8/10

this fragrance embodies what you want in a fresh and almost citrusy scent, it's edging the citrus. emphasis on the fresh and at the same time it's also very smooth. it's like having the best of both worlds. being warm and soft yet fresh and captivating and at the same time not being too bold or overpowering. I think the eucalyptus really carries this fragrance and it also makes it very unique. I really liked this fragrance works for all occasions, i got a ton of compliments.

Very resinous and warm, if I'm not mistaken this one represents winter and the precious porcelain case is modeled on swans wings, the name means "white" too, all to do with winter. But somehow it's not ambery, it's more of a dark, dense resins blend.

25.march 2014 Today i have recieved a selection of samples of all 4 fragrances by Suleiko. All is very nice packaged and a personal greeting note included as well (in my native language). Sounds good. First i try this fragrance, i spray one time onto my arm. Mmmmmm..... Smells good, there is something defenitely woody in it and also very balsamic (i haven ́t seen the notes yet, i wanted my nose to react to the scent without my brain knowing, what to smell). At one moment it reminds me of my huge love "Feminite de bois" by Shiseido, but only as an echo of "Feminite". Maybe because of the cedar note? I feel like i am taking a walk through a pine forest on a warm sunny day just after the rain. The pines are fresh and young, and they smell delicious (have you ever tried to chew a young pine greens?). I also smell a incense in here, a bit like in orthodox church, but very soft and pleasant. I have smelled these notes actually in some of Comme de Garcons fragrances, especially in their "Incense series 3". But "Albho is much more softer. Sorry, but i don ́t smell ANY eucalyptus in here, mint - yes, but no hint of eucalyptus in here by far. I must admit, that the opening and beginning of the middle stage smell quite masculine, BUT the closer to the drydown, the softer it becomes and only that ́s when i smell a hint of eucalyptus. Still i think this would smell much more better on men, than on women. P.S. After half an hour i finally realise where i have smelled this before: "Nu" in EDT from YSL!!!! Yes, the one, but bit more masculine than the "Nu". Otherwise they smell very close. I must mention the sillage as well: it is very much detectable, yet not a heavy-hitter. It will last for sure. I think since i have several bottles of "Nu", i will pass on this one, however i DID really enjoyed this fragrance. Best suitable for Autumn-spring time, but also winter is a time to wear this fragrance.

It feel like that only at the beginning, with time it develops into warmer fragrance, with balsamic undertones, but still eucaliptus and cold aromatic accord are present. Very changing and interesting, I like it, but it's better on my husband ;o)
