Pine Forest

Black pepper crackles across your skin as balsam fir and stone pine needle deliver that immediate evergreen brightness—sharp, almost whistling with green intensity, like crushing fresh needles between your palms. It's deliberately austere, offering no softness, just crystalline resin and pepper-forward vigour that feels genuinely alpine rather than domesticated.

The fragrance settles into something more nuanced as coriander and carrot seed introduce a subtle spiced warmth that offsets the juniper wood's dry, juniper-forward character. Frankincense and peru balsam create a honeyed, resinous undertone that makes the composition feel less forest-floor and more apothecarial—this is where the herbaceous structure truly reveals its layering, with oregano and clove adding subtle kitchen-garden complexity.

The base transforms Pine Forest into something warmer and more introspective, with labdanum and myrrh establishing a smoky, leather-adjacent foundation that grounds the remaining greenery. Styrax and oakmoss persist through the final hours, maintaining that herbal, almost earthy character whilst white musk provides minimal sweetness—this is a finish that feels thoughtful and slightly withdrawn, as if the forest is settling into twilight.
