    Forest & Woods Scents (with and without evergreens)

    I've been curious about that one, good to hear it has that nice true scent. May have to go for an imp with my next order, hope it works on me! Ah, I hadn't thought of getting a scent locket but I definitely should. Yggdrasil is too beautiful not to be able to wear. Awesome, thank you for the list, it's good to know which ones people find foresty that aren't necessarily described that way on the website. Already from perusing some reviews of Robin Goodfellow, Death on a Pale Horse and Odin, these seem in the ballpark of what I'm looking for. Do you happen to know about The Forest Reverie? Reviews of that one are mixed, some saying it's purely fruity or soapy, others saying they get some of that lovely forest smell

    Thank you! These are some great suggestions. Metis sounds beautiful, I'll be keeping an eye out for this one. Just missed the window, I should have been paying attention! Dark Rosaleen too. I'll make a note of those GC scents for sure, they sound too lovely not to try. Earthy and piney scents are good too, hopefully some of these will work well with my skin chemistry!

    Forest & Woods Scents (with and without evergreens)

    I've done a bit of searching on the forums and website for forest scents. I found threads for specifically wood, as in wood planks, and specifically pine, but I'm really looking for recommendations for scents that evoke forest with all of it's mixed vegetation and earth. Hopefully this isn't redundant, but I wasn't able to turn up a forest thread so let me know if I've overlooked something. Now, I have something very specific in mind, but if there's not much that matches it, any good forest scent would make me super happy. I love the woods of the pacific northwest U.S. and I would love to carry that kind of scent with me all the time. What I had in mind is something that smells like walking through a lush green forest on a sunlit breezy summer day, cool crisp air rushing through and carrying a faint sweet scent of new leafy undergrowth. Seeing as how I could only find a few scents on the website with forest tags, I'll take any forest scents-dark, rainy, piney, etc. One of the first imps I ever got was Yggdrasil, which is almost EXACTLY what I'm looking for, but sadly it turns into intense, old-fashioned pure powder on me within a matter of minutes. In the imp that cool minty note mingling with the woods really creates that vision of a fresh breeze in a forest for me, but all of that disappears immediately. A few notes: -Sometimes these scents can be a fine line between authentic and smelling like a bathroom/cheap air freshener/pine-sol/cleaner. I'd much prefer something that doesn't smell like those things. -I'd also prefer those not too obviously hyper-masculine smelling. Feminine, unisex and maybe just a touch masculine are fine, I realize earthy kind of scents tend to walk that line, just nothing that screams MANLY. -Also please let me know if a fragrance has a reputation of fading fast, disappearing or aging poorly Thank you, I'd really appreciate any input!
