Oriental Woody
by Pecksniff's

This stuff is so much like Chanel Egoiste it is amazing. It is a pleasant generic juice, not too strong for summer and not too weak for winter. Very much a safe bet for an interview.

Man, there's leather in this. It's very obvious. Vanilla and musk take over. Oh there's some banana-ish rose note. Amber? Confusing but really interesting. I like this. It's spicy, too. Woods, ah there they are. This just changes way too much. I think I'm going mad!

Oriental Woody (Quite a name, isn’t it?) opens subtly with citrus, lavender, and cinnamon leaf – bright, refined, sophisticated, and quite sensual. I find the opening wonderfully well balanced – quite sophisticated. The middle accord is floral and fruity: a traditional combination of rose, jasmine, and geranium with a touch of peach – soft and subtle with the jasmine taking precedence and most of the sweetness staying in the background. The “Woody” moniker becomes appropriate with the base a smooth woody sweetness of sandalwood, cedar, leather, and tonka. I find this fragrance to be typical of the Pecksniffs I’ve tried before: Every one I’ve experienced is refined, subtle, and sophisticated… Oriental Woody’s additional descriptors are “sensual” and “seductive.” This is probably my favorite of all the Pecksniff I have tried, but, like the other Pecksniff’s, it is too fleeting.
