Soul of the Forest

Maison Margiela Soul of the Forest is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Soul of the Forest opens with Blackcurrant, Oakmoss, and Pimiento, settles into a heart of Fir Resin, Labdanum, and Maple Syrup, and dries down to a base of Incense, Patchouli, and Cedar. Maison Margiela's Soul of the Forest carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A lush, mossy walk through an ancient woodland - Soul of the Forest is a meditative, resinous-green masterwork for lovers of earthy, contemplative scents. Not for the crowd-pleaser, but for the soul-searcher.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

The resinous-green heart and woody-mossy base make it ideal for fall and winter, evoking a damp forest floor and earthy chill. It works in spring when the air is cool and fresh, but may feel too dense for hot weather.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate projection and earthy sophistication make it suitable for casual, formal, and date settings, but its distinct forest vibe is not ideal for sporty or very hot, crowded environments.

About

Soul of the Forest envelops you in an immersive green canopy, where blackcurrant bud glistens with morning dew and mossy earth rises beneath your feet. Balsam fir and cedarwood evoke the heart of the forest, while incense and labdanum swirl in resinous, smoky whorls. Touches of pimento and patchouli linger, conjuring the wild, mysterious energy of old-growth woods after rain. Deeply grounding and quietly powerful, this is a scent for those who find solace among the trees.
