Like a Walk in the Woods
ADDITIONAL NOTE ON LONGEVITY:
I would have originally described the longevity as "rather mediocre" and "disappointing." Either my perception has changed or the scent has become a bit more intense after a few weeks/months.
It now lasts 6-8 hours on my skin, which is perfectly fine considering the price of usually around €45. I would give it 8/10 points.
And right after the rain, when the first rays of sunshine hit the forest floor.
I'm not an expert, so I evaluate this scent more "emotionally" rather than analyzing all its components. I leave that to more experienced users.
I find this scent fantastic. It is somehow special, without trying to impose itself.
Due to my associations, I perceive the scent as calming, like a walk through the woods where I played as a child. Unwind, breathe, clear the mind.
On the other hand, I also find it a bit exciting. I notice this because I want to smell it again and again and then sniff it on my clothes or the back of my hand.
Here, I must unfortunately criticize a bit: the longevity and intensity of the scent are unfortunately rather mediocre.
(This can of course also be advantageous if you want to use the scent daily in the office - I believe it is wonderful for that.)
__________
The scent starts citrus-fresh; I don't smell much pineapple. That's not a problem for me, as I'm not a big fan of pineapple.
All of this fades (on my skin) within a few minutes.
Then the wonderful feel-good forest note comes to the fore, which I have already described above.
Wood, leaves, and coniferous trees, moss - still damp from the rain, but now warmed by intense rays of sunshine.
The whole thing remains wonderfully fresh and never feels musty or "swampy."
So the scent stays like that - until it suddenly disappears. For me, after about 5 hours.
__________
The bottle is beautifully crafted and feels high-quality. I think the look is great, but that's of course a matter of taste. At first glance, it appears black-silver, but when held up to the light, the glass appears greenish - very fitting actually to my "green" forest associations.
There is nothing to criticize about the spray head.
__________
Despite the somewhat disappointing longevity, I would unconditionally recommend this scent to anyone who could evoke a cozy feeling or a beautiful memory with the above description of a fresh, damp forest.
Alongside "Antique," this is (so far) my favorite scent from the "Niche Emarati" line by Lattafa.
Thank you for reading my first review.
