d'Annam Through The Forest is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Anh Ngo. Through The Forest opens with Pepper, Saffron, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Spicy Notes, Tobacco, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Oud, and Vanilla. d'Annam's Through The Forest carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a captivating, smoky-sweet oud and spice bomb. It's a fantastic alternative to the often-divisive By the Fireplace, offering a more nuanced and less 'perfumey' take on the genre. An absolute must-try if you like your fragrances dark and comforting.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Imagine wandering through a smouldering forest at dusk. Through The Forest opens with an intriguing blend of peppery spice and resinous elemi, quickly deepening into a heart of rich, warm tobacco and enveloping incense. The base settles into a smooth, slightly sweet oud tempered by creamy sandalwood and a touch of vanilla, creating a comforting yet mysterious aura.
