It all soaps in the end.
I am not the right person to judge this fragrance. In my experience, it opens with some very nice florals, but as it dries down and the wood starts to come through, it becomes a bar of white soap. The old-fashioned ones that left your skin feeling rough and dry but cleaner than you'd ever been.

In any case, this fragrance isn't for me. Might be nice on a very hot day, when I need to feel refreshed, but I would never touch it otherwise. Still very clean, well-blended and high quality like B&B is known for.

I love it on paper - it smells like the lemon & spice soap I once used, a scent that is very festive to me. But on my skin it was completely different.
It opens with heavy bergamot & black currant and I'm not too sure I like the combination, it was a bit vomit inducing. The dry down, however, is nice and warm. It smells exactly like Glossier You. The longevity was great on me, I sprayed it on around midday and it was still there at the end of the day.

Scandinavian forest in early fall
BJÖRK & BERRIES WHITE FOREST
A northern Swedish brand that sells skin and body care, hair care and fragrances. White Forest has been available since 2016. The nose behind this perfume is Jérôme Epinette.
It all began in 2016 in northern Sweden, where wild leaves and berries were hand-picked to capture the essence of Swedish flora for a first perfume. Isabelle Lewenhaupt's local project grew into the brand. Her mission: to share the magic of Swedish nature with the world. All products are developed in-house and produced in Sweden and France.
The White Forest fragrance is complemented by a care lotion and shower gel, both in a beautiful, minimalist design.
Woody, aromatic, fresh.
I don't smell violets and lily of the valley.
The fragrance is similar to the wonderful Bal
d'Afrique (my signature fragrance for a long time), especially at the beginning. You smell something cool, fresh, very relaxing and unobtrusive, a cold morning in a wild garden in early fall. Or even a freshly cut fir tree. Definitely better in cold temperatures. An all-rounder, especially for the office or leisure time, not necessarily a good choice for dates. For me, it's perfect for hiking. Crisp and clean. A unique blend of citrus and green notes. The spice here is warm and comforting. Some people smell gingerbread, but not me, so don't be put off by the association. A timeless fragrance that is nevertheless unique and does not lose its character under the guise of classicism. The opening is very fruity and fresh, Ball d'afrique becomes creamier as it progresses, here the fragrance remains green. Not fragrance twins, but they certainly share the vibe.
Clean, fresh, aromatic, woody. Citrus is bright and not overpowering, evergreen fir tree with some tonka and cedar.
Veriver is very pronounced in the drydown, so definitely unisex. Cardamom won't completely pull off the Danish Christmas here, but the warmth fits well here.
Bal D'Afrique is a (beautiful) vetiver bomb and quite creamy
and soapy. This one is more about lemon, birch and pine. Smells a bit spicy too.
I love both.
Compared to BDA, this is definitely more masculine, but still completely unisex. Dry down has some similarity to Glossier You - my HG.
Citrus without cleaning bathroom vibes.
However, this gives way to an aromatic and coniferous scent profile dominated by pine (the star of this fragrance in my opinion) and soft woods. It is an invigorating scent and has been compared by Scandinavian reviewers to the smell of the winter forest.

A white forest that's not so white?
Hello, snoopers! Hey hey, I think this is going to be my standard greeting for you noses :D

Anyway, it's evening again and I bring you, how could it be any different, a new fragrance description. Admittedly, it is once again a fragrance which is certainly less well known and could therefore meet with rather little interest, but as I said before, I will try to present some less well known fragrances here once or twice a week, maybe some of you might be interested :)

So, today I describe White Forest by Björk & Berries, a brand I don't know well yet myself, but more and more scents of which I get to know thanks to samples of some perfumes here (which are so sweet and occasionally supply me with scents, thank you :). White Forest has a nice sound, doesn't it? It sounds like dreamlike snow-covered forests, which are somewhat quieter in winter, because more than half of the cuddly forest dwellers lazily slept in, for weeks or even months! :))

In general I think everything that has to do with the forest is great (well, apart from ticks and so on... bah...!). That's why I like to test forest scents and hope that this one has also become a beautiful scent.

The fragrance:
The fragrance begins citrically and somehow also slightly mossy, but this could also be due to the pine notes, which mix with the rest, resulting in a green-woody-moosy fragrance. I smell a mix of the oranges and rhubarb, a little pine (resin) and something flowery in the background, which should be the freesias. Then the birch is also noticeable, which one recognizes well under the woody and flowery scents then, because it has such a beautiful, green-floral scent.
A small, delicate sweetness emerges a little later and since this sweetness also has a powdery charisma, this should come from the violets, which later mix with the tonka bean, giving the fragrance a sweet as well as powdery touch again.
A little later, I smell an initially bitterly woody note, which soon turns out to be cedar wood.
In the end one smells a lot of cedar, but also still powdery, sweet scents of violets and tonka bean. Towards the end it stays that way, whereas the generally woody scent is now a bit weaker than at the beginning, thus concerning the resins and pines.

The Sillage and the shelf life:
The Sillage is average, well, a little more than that, so he'll be smelly on you for a while, but later he'll be more sniffable up close.
The shelf life is quite good because the fragrance lasts longer than eight hours.

The bottle:
The bottle is rectangular, quite simple and has no label. The lid is cylindrical, gold-plated and large, which is also good, because without this lid the bottle would have come across too easily. Well, anyway, the bottle's not really my thing now...

So, I liked White Forest a lot. It's not so good that I absolutely have to have it, but it's quite nice that I would at least recommend it for a test, especially if you like forest scents with woody, slightly green and powdery-sweet floral scents.
Its type for me is a somewhat loose scent of the day, which is good for work or whatever you do during the day (hm... Visit a doctor? Uuuh... I have to go to the dentist again soon... even if I am not afraid of the dentist, it is sometimes a queasy feeling, urrgs...) could wear. Especially now in spring! Yep, despite the scent name it is a scent for rather warm days, if you should think about winter with White Forest.

The fragrance is indicated as unisex, but in the beginning I found the fragrance rather masculine, as these mossy fragrances had given me a very light, barbarian-like fragrance. Afterwards, however, the fragrance became a little more feminine through the violets and the flowers, only to become more masculine again later on, e.g. because of the stronger cedar note. Yes, that goes back and forth somehow, so unisex is probably right here :D

Don't expect an outstanding fragrance, but as I said, it's already nice and might appeal to forest enthusiasts as well. And that's it again, so I'll stop here and wish you all a nice evening!
