Lost In The Forest

Lost In The Forest is a 50ml Eau de Parfum from Medeau. The brand describes a fresh opening that settles into warm woods with a subtle spicy edge, and presents it as calm, natural and understated. It begins with citrus, anise and geranium, moves into cedar and guaiac wood, and rests on amber. It was previously sold as Cedar Noir, and Medeau says the formula did not change when it was renamed. The accounts agree on the dry woody centre, but there are few of them and they differ. One compares the opening to freshly sharpened pencils and calls it introverted. Another finds the woods more earthy and bodily, while still enjoying the scent. One writer describes good projection and lasting power, whereas another describes it as reactive to different skin. Those reports do not point to a single typical performance, so strength and trail stay at the middle. The brand calls the fragrance woody and grounding, and the notes support a dry, restrained woody direction, though individual impressions vary. It may appeal to someone who enjoys cedar and guaiac wood with a fresh citrus opening. A sample is the safest way to judge its character and strength on your skin.
