Hut Evening with Islay
I believe today I have a hut evening....
Thanks to the lovely Delightful, I am currently enjoying experiences of wood and forest scents, and I was finally able to share Heirloom Oak with Mr. UntermWert, which we tested on the same day, albeit at different times (without giving too much away - the scent is a dream!).
At the same time, I happened to discover Woodcut (Olympic Orchids) and Woody Mood (Olfactive Studio) today, and they all evoke for me a cozy forest cabin, each in its own unique way.

Heirloom Oak was a blind buy and was supposed to be a gift, themed around whisky. I am not disappointed: The opening is "boozy" with a very special, masculine sweetness of amber, vanilla, and tonka. On me, it retains a slight freshness (perhaps immortelle?), while on Mr. UntermWert, it develops a gentle sillage that invites the other person to come closer... the scent feels incredibly cozy, mature-adult, and content. But it doesn’t need to come off as spicy-thick, like a classic "men's scent" (men emphasized). It belongs to him, connects with his personality, and highlights it gracefully and harmoniously.
On me, after a brief sweet opening, the scent soon develops a soft woody tone, reminiscent of a minimalist cabin where a fire is burning and the resin wafts through the walls. Fundamentally, it also subtly reminds me of an empty whisky glass, from which an Islay was previously enjoyed - smoky, slightly peaty, with the sweetness of the wooden cask in which it was aged.... one could smell it for hours.

The scent presents exactly what I was looking for: the aura of a good whisky, mature, content, with a quiet nod... in the background, a fireplace.
While it is essentially more masculine, I would definitely wear it for a cozy evening at home if I wanted to imagine stepping into a cabin where a peacefully inviting fire is burning, surrounded by rugged nature, rocky ground, with a deep, tranquil forest in the background
... definitely away from the city, the associated everyday life, and the prevailing uncertainty and unrest at the moment.

Wonderfully, beautifully crafted scent. Not light, but by no means heavy - with a sweetness that clings to the gentleman as if it has always sought him out. (a 10 out of 10)

Do you smell the old oak barrel?
The patina of peat and malt?
The whiskey has long gone
Vanilla lingers in the smoky wood

Immortelle, a strong yellow.
Oak wood, old and malty.
Amber so golden,
delicate sweetness.

Beautiful harmony of amber - immortelle - oud along with woody notes: sepia brown and subtly oriental: sophisticated and striking at the same time.

From the beginning of time,
when trees had roots like a bodybuilder's thighs.
The hay between them grew from peat.

Dark oak barrel, deep, empty, and malty. A bit peaty, but not smoky like the whisky. Tonka & vanilla round it off against the base.

A light Slumberhouse type; pleasantly smoky, Immortelle gives a hint of hay, malty, with a light amber overlay. Fades quickly.

A wonderful symbiosis of dark resins and light wood or paper smoke. Very natural. H&S are fine. This could be, for example...
