La Martina Alpha Woods is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Mathilde Bijaoui. Alpha Woods opens with Lime and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Violet Leaf, and dries down to a base of Vetiver and Patchouli. La Martina's Alpha Woods carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

Don't let the name Alpha Woods fool you; this isn't some beastly, overpowering scent. It's a surprisingly fresh, clean take on woods and citrus, a versatile underdog that's been unfairly overlooked. It's a genuine crowd-pleaser, delivering more than its price tag suggests.

About

Alpha Woods kicks off with a zesty blast of lime, sharp and invigorating, given a subtle spark by pink pepper. As that lively opening softens, a dewy, green violet leaf emerges, adding a clean, slightly aquatic nuance. The dry-down settles into polished vetiver and patchouli, offering an earthy, woody base that feels modern and refined, never heavy or dirty. It's a sophisticated freshness with an understated woody backbone.
