Do I not like sandalwood?
Unfortunately not the right one, in search of my creamy wood…
It has a slightly spicy quality from the sandalwood, but very very creamy. Unfortunately, for me, the combination of spiciness, creaminess, and woodiness (at least in this case) brings out a slightly fermented or pickled (?) coconut note that I simply do not like.
I can break down the scent on my skin into its individual components and find it “theoretically good,” but it will not be the pleasant companion I so longed for.

Good, but somewhat unpleasant association
More wearable than one would expect! Distinct notes can be discerned, but it’s not unbalanced.
A slight sharpness from plastic and ginger (in the opening), powdery from matcha and iris, earthy-moist microorganisms like fungi and skin through musk. Quite subtly sweet-creamy. Probably due to the sandalwood, which is quite pronounced in this fragrance.
Now for my less favorable association:
Old manual toothbrush in a plastic cup. At the bottom, deposits of an organic mixture of sweet menthol toothpaste (ginger + matcha + sandalwood) and old saliva (musk, fungus, rice residue). Partially dried out (iris, concrete).
Yes, as it always is with me, once the association has forced its way in, it’s impossible to shake off.. Very unfortunate, because the perception becomes much more simplistic: The brain jumps directly to this association instead of considering the individual components.
I would appreciate a discussion if anyone else has had a sniff of this.

Unfortunately, no enchanted fairy forest.
My expectation of receiving a fruity-woody-earthy scent that evokes feelings of a magical forest has unfortunately been disappointed. What did I get? A medicinal herbal lozenge with berry flavor, desperately trying to mask the taste of medicine..
Alternatively, also "umckaloabo" mixed in blackberry jam xD
Unfortunately, there are few woody/earthy notes, mainly resinous, herbal notes with blackberry jam. More of a wild mixture than a nicely balanced fragrance.
It sprays dark purple, so probably not to be sprayed on (light) clothing..

Nose doesn't want to cooperate
Ah, I had so much hope for this fragrance. I'm looking for a green-berry scent with fairy forest associations. Something earthy, but definitely not too sweet. "Enchanted Forest" seemed like the obvious choice. The notes promised such a complex magical scent, and the reviews seemed so promising: fruity tart blackcurrants with resinous greenery that should evoke vivid forest images in my mind.
Now for the reality check: all I smell is the extreme acidity of the blackcurrant, which makes everything tighten up, as if I accidentally drank undiluted juice concentrate. The complex greenery that I expected to be so forest-like and resinous (resins, herbs, woods, patchouli, seeds, and beaver musk?!) merges in my seemingly misguided nose into a basil note. Basil isn't even listed…?
I can hardly believe it, I leave it aside, sniff again: sour, fruity basil. Oh man. Super nice, fresh basil, like freshly picked, but that's it. Except for that sour note.
So far from disgusting, but I miss the enchanting fruity complexity, resinousness, and woodiness that make a forest for me. Apparently, I do need some sweetness to make the fruit feel fruity. Well, at least I've learned something.

Warm Fruity Spice
Unique and far from other perfumes I have smelled so far. Exceptionally beautiful, like most scents from Venti4.
Warm, without being vanilla-heavy. Fruity, without an overly intense sweetness, slightly sparkling-spicy. I might smell more of a red currant or cranberry than a syrupy raspberry. Frankincense without the smoke. Leathery, without evoking masculine associations. Great scent!
