Forest
Forest by Rook Perfumes is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with pine, cypress and aromatic accord, moves into black pepper, incense, green leaves, petrichor and cut grass and dries down to patchouli, cedarwood, white musk, smoke, petrichor and mineral accord. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Pine Sappy and bracing. Straightforwardly outdoorsy.
- Cypress Cool, green, resinous conifer. Sharp and clean.
- Aromatic Accord Herbal freshness in the lavender and rosemary mould, blended into one impression.
Heart
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
- Green Leaves Crushed stems and fresh leaves. Snappy, sharp and outdoorsy.
- Petrichor Rain on hot stone and dust. The smell of a storm arriving.
- Cut Grass Exactly what it says. Sharp, wet and nostalgic.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
- Smoke Charred and dry. Adds drama fast.
- Petrichor Rain on hot stone and dust. The smell of a storm arriving.
- Mineral Accord Wet stone and flint. Cold, dry and modern.
