Wow! I am so glad I got the discovery kit because this one didn't initially catch my eye, but I am blown away. Warm spicy but not overly smokey or unwearable. The name is true to the scent. There is something about this that feels like walking through a forest just before the sun rises, with a dense fog. Warm and cozy.

Woooooooooow. Stunning!!!!!!! I bought the discovery kit and was enjoying the journey through the kit. While a few were very good (White Rice, Monsoon Tea, Da Lat are my fav so far) this is the first one that had me drooling right off the first spritz. You get a $20 voucher with the discovery kit and I'm almost certain I'll be using it on the FB of Through the Forest.

This is a heavily spiced and richly smoky oud + saffron combo. It opens with very freshly aromatic black pepper with a smoky punch of incense and warm resins. Then the saffron starts to peek out. It’s leathery, sweet, rich, and slightly spiced. The dry down is a bit softer with a smooth sandalwood and hint of warm vanilla, but ultimately it’s still a very smoky and deep saffron infused oud. Very smoky, very rich, very warm, and deeply spiced.

It is a beautiful scent of oud and incense. It reminds me of old temples in Hanoi, my city. It projects an aura of calmness and confident around you. This fragrance really fits what I am looking for and it will be my signature scent. I pray that it is never discontinued but I understand why it might not sell as much as others. Scents are subjective and I find this scent isn't a generic scent that everyone can wear.
