The composition
Through The Forest opens with black pepper, saffron and the resinous lift of elemi. Incense smoke and warm spices build through the heart, and the base settles into a smooth oud with sandalwood and a soft sweetness.
It has the calm of a temple more than the green of a forest: smoke, wood and quiet warmth. A gentle way into oud, and a cozy choice for cold evenings.
What wearers say
- Smoky incense and oud lead for most wearers, with a sweet, spicy edge.
- Many describe the oud as smooth and clean rather than animalic, and some call it a good first oud.
- A few say it smells more of incense than of any forest.
- Longevity is mostly reported as long.
- Wearers reach for it in cooler weather and for evenings, and several call it unisex.
