The Vagabond Prince Enchanted Forest is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Enchanted Forest opens with Hawthorn, Blackcurrant Leaf, Currant Blossom, and Red Wine, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Rose, Carnation, and Honeysuckle, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Patchouli. The Vagabond Prince's Enchanted Forest carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

A divisive forest fantasy: Enchanted Forest either conjures a magical, photorealistic blackcurrant woodland or a cloying, cough-syrup mess. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent - no middle ground for this one.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its bold fruit and woody accords, combined with moderate projection and longevity, make it well-suited for casual or date nights where a unique, intriguing scent can shine. It's too distinctive and potentially overwhelming for office wear and lacks the fresh lightness for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Limonene from Orange
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Step into a whimsical, boozy woodland. Bright, tart blackcurrant and its leafy greenness are tempered by a rich, red wine and rum accord, creating a luscious, almost jammy aroma. Fir resin and oakmoss ground this fruity fantasy in an earthy, woody depth, rounded out by subtle vanilla and warm amber in the dry down. It's a complex journey from crisp, green berries to a cosy, resinous base.
