Little Red Riding Hood's Forest

Little Red Riding Hood sets off to visit her grandmother, whose cottage is hidden deep in the dark spruce forest. Little Red Riding Hood is not afraid, as she loves to breathe in the fresh, clear forest air. Along the way, she passes a small sunlit clearing where a solitary dark red rose blooms. As red as Little Red Riding Hood's cloak. It smells wonderful, fresh, and rosy. So she decides to bring this beautiful rose to her sick grandmother.
But beware, Little Red Riding Hood! Perhaps it is the rose that attracts the wolf, who is stealthily approaching and begins to follow. The wolf's fur is sleek and fully grown, and it smells of agarwood, very fine. He encounters Little Red Riding Hood with the beautiful rose in her basket and accompanies her on her way... whether he is a wicked wolf is uncertain.

The scent Red Riding Hood is from the fairy tale-inspired line of the perfumer and, like all Wild Veil fragrances, is a natural scent.

I find the fragrance pyramid here not really helpful. I can partly smell vetiver, oud as well, but it is not a typical oud-rose scent. The rose is also more in the background.
For me, a forest note dominates; I suspect black spruce absolute, although it is not mentioned as a note. In the opening, the scent reminds me of that algemarin shower gel, does anyone still remember that? So fresh, green.
Red Riding Hood is complex and multifaceted; I can imagine it more on a man. For me, it is not a scent that I would wear often, but the fragrance experience is interesting.

I often find Wild Veil to be positive, but sometimes also a bit strange. It's possible that the vetiver combined with the oud suggests a coniferous scent. However, the rose would probably bother me ;-)

As dark green as the oil is, I suspect there's some fir absolute in there. The rose is very subtle in the background and not sweet.
Wild Veil has the most incredible variety of scents. If you like natural floral fragrances, you'll definitely find something here. It's tough to test through everything. ;)
