Deepest Forest
The last one in the Soivohle hiking package that I want to comment on, and at the same time my personal highlight in the package.
An intense, heavy, spicy, balsamic blend greets me. Like Yatagan - whose description of the scent aligns quite well with my perception - I particularly notice the coniferous notes. Along with that, there is a lush mixture of spices. My "fear opponent" cumin seems to be present here as well, but fortunately it stays somewhat in the background.
As with "Cumberland Ti," I also draw a parallel to Slumberhouse here, this time to "Norne," even though the strong smoky impression found in "Carpathian Oud" is missing. But with both perfumes, you feel transported to a dense, archaic coniferous forest, without a specific location - Scandinavia, Siberia, Carpathians - it doesn't matter! A forest like from the old Grimm fairy tales - with wolves and bears, huge ancient trees, impassable and dangerous. I can also understand the associations with flying ointment, witch's brew, or remedies from alternative medicine. Such perfumes certainly have their charm for me, even though I am a strict supporter of conventional medicine.
Unlike Yatagan, I rate CO significantly higher; during the first test, I wavered between 9.0 and 9.5 because this perfume appeals to a dark, abyssal side of me. Due to the unfortunately not entirely ignorable cumin note during the second test, I remain at 9.0.

I totally get your high rating! The scent really has something very alluring and tempting despite its darkness and severity. I gave it "only" an 8.0, so I liked it too :)
