The
Cure – A Forest

Enchanted Forest opens with the strong and
realistic note of finest black currant liqueur (maybe Chambord was a role
model). Upon this boozy opening aromatic, leafy green notes reinforced by aldehydes
emerges like some distant, fruity relative of Chanel’s 19. In the background, I
can sense some refined and balmy note of crushed pine or fir needles which I
really like.
The heart of Enchanted Forest is a
floral bouquet of old fashioned carnation and subdued, dark rose. At its base
the pine and its sticky resins become stronger. These dark, archaic resins are
juxtaposed to the green-fruity heaven. The whole composition is rounded with
just a touch of vanilla and amber. As often is a case with Master Duchaufour’s
creations there are several note layers, which in my opinion are perfectly
revealed during the colder weather.
The main difference of Enchanted Forest,
compared to dozens of other niche fragrance is incredible persistence of black
currant, from top to base. This black currant note is the most stubborn note I
have ever encountered in the fragrance, and it is simply beautiful. The black
currant heaven indeed.
