Forest 2020 Edition Rook
by Rook Perfumes
Forest 2020 Edition Rook is a clean, green, and woody fragrance that captures the essence of a fresh pine forest with a cerebral and aromatic backbone. It opens with a crisp, balsamic blend of cypress and pine, leading into a green and watery core with subtle hints of black pepper and cannabis. The incense and musk form a soft, linear drydown that lingers softly, creating a naturalistic, immersive forest atmosphere. The scent feels alive—wet moss, damp earth, and cool air—evoking a pristine, springtime woodland. It's unisex and minimalistic, with a dry, slightly camphoraceous quality that gives it a refreshing clarity. Longevity is moderate, lasting about four hours on most skin types. Sillage is moderate to strong, with the best effect when worn at a distance, making it ideal for an ambient, trail-like scent experience. Despite being well-blended and natural-smelling, it lacks lasting power and intensity, feeling more like a fleeting memory than a lasting presence.
