La Foret Russe

Opening sharp and green, thyme and sage strike like crushed herbs underfoot in dense woodland. La Foret Russe deepens into a cool, resinous heart—cypress and Siberian pine drawing the air thin and clear—before settling into warm earth: oakmoss and vetiver grounding the dryness, while cedar and benzoin weave in amber sweetness. Incense smoke and gurjan balsam linger, smoky and bittersweet, as if the forest itself has been set slowly smoldering.
