The unequal stepbrother of Knize Ten
In some things I am older than I actually am old. At least you'd think so. It starts with literature and culture in general and does not stop at scents. Some of you may have noticed my penchant for certain scents, but there are also classics like Knize Ten or similar in my small collection. From here the way to Knize Forest was not too far. I like forest scents and a forest flanker of a leather classic? This should be good, I guess.
But it turned out quite differently than expected. It should be mentioned that the forest has really nothing in common with the Ten in terms of olfaction. This would have been obvious if you had studied the scent pyramid before. The beginning reminds me for a moment of my current aftershave Hattric; it is fresh, aquatic and noticeably cooling. Very quickly it turns green, because we are here in the forest. Maybe just at a small mountain stream in the forest with bright but not hot sunshine What I find exciting here is that the lavender is not dominant, it is perceived as sublimely herbaceous in the blend, but rather discreet. The oakmoss sets the tone without appearing very mossy but rather warm and green. The Hesperides are clearly emphasized but smell more as a unit in the air than individually.
The prelude is overwhelmingly successful. After a short time Knize Forest fades away or becomes more monothematic. The fruits have disappeared from the forest. It's rather spicy and warm, with a bit of fantasy I see the Classic bubble bath in front of me. So Knize Forest doesn't smell wrong but now it doesn't smell as outstanding as it did at first impression.
Well, that's the dilemma of this toilet water. Not much happens here anymore. A fragrance for relaxing hours, for leisure hours rather than one that hits the same mark as Knize Ten.
In the end, Knize Forest is a solid and fundamentally fine fragrance. It is introverted and therefore something for friends of such products. In the end, it's the performance that keeps me from buying it, because it's almost as long lasting as an aftershave, if you think of the notes. These disappear too fast so that the basic structure remains. But it's nothing more than a background noise and I don't care how long this state lasts.
