Wakening Woods of Scandinavia 4711 2019

4711 has long been on a good path to shed its rather entrenched grandma image (at least in this country) - and now, with the "Intense" line and some renowned "fragrance directors" at the helm, this transformation should be nearly complete. That's why these Scandinavian woods ended up spontaneously in the shopping cart at the perfume meeting in Cologne.

"Waking Woods of Scandinavia" captures the dew-fresh pine forests in spring after a cold winter very finely. Quite Nordic, cool, but no longer icy. A minimal shampoo flair, distinctly peppery-woody Geza Schön DNA. Feels good, works, fits. Whether it's Finland, Norway, or Sweden - as long as there are dripping pines and slightly damp ground. Easy to wear. Rather masculine, not at all old-fashioned, with a bit of wellness feeling. But still (unlike some of the Rituals I've tested in the past few days) a full-fledged perfume with development and (delicate) character. For people, not baths or rooms. "Cologne Herbal Lemonade" fits perfectly as mentioned below. A natural facelift for 4711 and a value-for-money winner.

Bottle: really great, detailed, high-quality, handy, stylish
Sillage: Oh Christmas Tree in shy
Longevity: 4-5 hours this soapy needle forest lays over the customer

Conclusion: a cybernetic pine forest between holodeck, dew freshness, and total relaxation. A beautiful creation from Geza - he brings real momentum and stable quality work to 4711!
