04 / Boisé
by Patyka

Notes: grapefruit, pine, Virginia cedar, oakmoss
This is an exceptional scent. Rarely does one find a natural, minimalist scent which has such depth and character.
Needless to say this is an incredibly woody scent. Dry as a bone and yet round and pleasingly full.
Wood and slight spice notes are the essence of this scent. Hints of pine but centre stage is for cedar.
The cedar has a vital, fresh, sappy quality of a freshly-cut board.
This scent has the same "hangin' out in the woodshop" vibe as Hinoki but is not as severe -- no turpentine.
At times it reminds me of Agraria Balsam -- but only partially.
Simply gentle, warm wood notes which have very pleasing longevity.
Really, really, really nice.

A green coniferous forest plus lots of mint, this is a refreshing experience. Unusual, but good!
