Launched in 2016 by Maison Martin Margiela and crafted by Quentin Bisch, Soul Of The Forest is a chypre fragrance that captures the essence of an ancient woodland. It opens with the bright freshness of black currant, which gives way to the earthy warmth of moss and pimento. At its core, balsam fir and labdanum evoke the rich scent of resinous trees, while maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness. The base notes of atlas cedar, incense, and patchouli deepen the composition with their woody and spicy undertones, creating an atmosphere that is both grounding and mysterious.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for an even distribution. The fresh spicy notes will fade within the first hour, so reapply if you want a longer-lasting top note experience. The woody base notes will continue to develop throughout the day, making this fragrance ideal for a day spent in nature or a quiet evening at home.
