Calm Center

The red Pino shares only the shape of the bottle with coniferous trees, forests, and cones.
In terms of character, he is a calm, refined companion with whom I like to retreat for some chilling time.

The top note is quite spicy, but it fades quickly. I can distinctly recognize nutmeg and also the citrusy aspect, while thyme holds back.
Lavender quickly joins in and merges with saffron and the base notes, none of which I can specifically pick out, creating on my skin a dry paper scent, to which a delicate barbershop vibe adds itself with varying intensity, not harsh, but slightly sweet.

I think of my grandfather’s shaving soap, whipped with a real hair brush, and how he would smell fragrant and wrapped in his gray cardigan while telling stories "from the past," just as I am sharing this story with you now.
Thus, Amber Woods meanders closely, generating a quiet sense of well-being without me ever thinking of amber or forest with this scent.

I really like it despite its weak sillage and longevity.

Thanks for the great review! 🏆
I was worried that it might be too heavy on the conifers, which had stopped me from making a blind purchase despite my curiosity.
What reassures me here are terms like dry paper and that the Amber Woods seems to be balanced without being too focused on amber or fir.
