"Swedish Curtains"!
No... not the ones made of iron bars, behind which crooks sit. But rather light and airy delicate curtains in pastel colors behind a friendly window. From there, one looks out onto a bright forest, where it smells gently woody. Through fine mist, the sun wants to shine brightly, eventually succeeds - and bathes the landscape in a mysterious shimmer.
Fine droplets sparkle on needles, leaves, and branches - "Nordic-magic," spring in Scandinavia. A little bit of "Orient" has also been added here - beautiful spicy-sweet powder dusts everything. Or are they the pollen of the blossoming trees in late spring? Probably both... in any case, the scent lasts a very long time and radiates pleasantly, without being "too much" or "too little." Perfect for a walk on a dreary December day, as it brings a bit of sunshine into the uniform gray. And it opens that friendly window with those "Swedish curtains" wide! ;-))

A Swede with Greek Roots
Since I already own Espionage by Oriflame and liked it very much, I ordered another Swedish fragrance blindly.

Did I have less luck this time?

When my eagerly awaited package was finally delivered on Friday, I could finally take a picture of it.
The first thing that struck me was the even prettier design of the packaging; if this continues, Oriflame and I will surely become good friends.

Dark Wood is a fine, unobtrusive, and not overpowering unisex fragrance for nice evenings for two or a visit to a café.

However, I cannot confirm that it only contains guaiac wood as stated.
Dark Wood carries a light sweetness with it and, of course, guaiac wood; both harmonize excellently without one overshadowing the other.
At least for the first few minutes after application, it feels unique; afterwards, the Swede swims in Greek waters - the already discontinued Korres Jasmine Pepper Guaiac Wood - apart from the white chocolate, the Swede and the Greek woman are quite similar.

This fragrance reminds me of the transition from summer to autumn, perhaps because of the woody notes. Good scent, but poor performance.

Starts woody, opens sweet and slightly fruity, then this metallic sparkle, a hint of fresh dispersion paint in the air.*

Dark isn't anything here. Lightly sweet-oriental wood scent that I think is unisex. Warm sunshine on a wooden bench feeling. A bargain!

Very Laylati-like, a bit metallic, then creamy-woody-spicy-sweet. You get noticed.

Delicate transparency in wood that lasts long. Lightly powdery oriental - very refined! Sunny for gray days - forest mist in pastel!

Friendly, light-woody feel-good scent, uncomplicated and long-lasting. And at a low price.

Subtle warm-soft blend - bright, sweet guaiac wood, very delicate spice... beautifully fluffy and understated. Unisex-friendly.

The name is a bit misleading. Dark is not the wood in this perfume. It's rather warm and gentle.

The name is nonsense! Gentle, balsamic, sweet, subtly spicy, and very cozy. And absolutely genderless.
