Don't I like sandalwood?
Unfortunately not the right one, looking for my creamy wood...
It's slightly spicy due to the sandalwood, but very creamy. Unfortunately, the combination of spiciness, creaminess and woodiness (at least in this case) gives me a slightly fermented or pickled (?) coconut note that I just don't like.
I can break the fragrance down into its individual parts on my skin and find it "theoretically good", but for me personally it is not the pleasant companion I so longed for.

Good, but somewhat unpleasant association
More wearable than expected! Individual notes to be discerned, but not unrounded.
Slightly spicy due to plastic and ginger (in the opening), powdery due to matcha and iris, earthy, moist microorganisms à la fungi and skin due to musk. Very subtly sweet and creamy. Presumably due to sandalwood, which is quite pronounced in this fragrance.
Now my less favorable association:
Old manual toothbrush in a plastic cup (plastic). At the bottom, deposits of an organic mixture of sweet menthol toothpaste (ginger+matcha+sandalwood) and old saliva (musk, mushroom, rice fumes). Partly dried (iris, concrete).
Yes, as is always the case with me, once the association has imposed itself, it can no longer be smelled away. That's a shame, because it makes perception much more simple-minded: The brain jumps straight to this association instead of looking at the individual components.
I would be happy to hear from you if anyone else has smelled it.

Unfortunately not an enchanted fairy forest.
My expectation of getting a fruity-woody-earthy fragrance that evokes enchanted forest feelings was unfortunately disappointed. What did I get? A medicinal herbal lozenge with a berry flavor that tries in vain to make you taste the medicine.
Alternatively also "umckaloabo" mixed in walberry jam xD
Unfortunately, few woody/earthy notes, mainly resinous, herbaceous notes with blackberry jam. More of a wild blend than a nicely balanced fragrance.
Sprays dark purple, so probably not to be sprayed on (light-colored) clothing...

Nose doesn't want what I want
Oh, I put so much hope in this fragrance. I'm looking for a green-berry scent with fairy forest associations. Something earthy, but not too sweet. "Enchanted Forest" seemed to be the obvious choice. The notes promised such a complex, magical fragrance, and the reviews also seemed promising: fruity, tart redcurrants with resinous greenery, which should only make the forest images in your head overflow.
Now the disillusionment: all I can smell is the extreme acidity of the redcurrant, which makes everything tighten up as if I've accidentally drunk undiluted juice concentrate. The complex green stuff, which would be so woody and resinous (resins, herbs, woods, patchouli, seeds and castoreum?!), melts into a basil note in my, apparently misguided, nose. Basil is not even mentioned...?
Can hardly believe it, leave it, sniff again: sour fruity basil. Oh man. Super nice, fresh basil, like freshly picked, but nothing more.
So far from disgusting, but I miss the enchanting fruity complexity, resinousness and woodiness that make up a forest.

Warm fruity spice
Very unique. Far from other perfumes I have smelled so far!
Warm without being vanilla-heavy. Fruity, without intense sweetness, slightly tangy and spicy. Incense without smoke. Leathery without evoking masculine associations.
I feel like I'm at the wedding of Vito Corleone's daughter. Godless Christianity or Catholic blasphemy on a late summer's day in Sicily.
