The opening of In the Woods is promising: fresh mint over a terpy-piney-spicy-incensey complex. So far as the
listed notes go, there’s a studied harmony: pink pepper obviously overlaps in
odour with black pepper, but also with elemi and juniper. It also blends well
with citrus, which would have provided perfumer Clément Salva with an easy top
to mid transition. That he instead went minty-green in the head notes is actually
rather novel.
Like so many modern fragrances however, the base is all
boring bulk – Cashmeran and Ambrox-type woody ambers and has little to
recommend it save longevity.
