SOFT WOODS

I took a chance on ‘Soft Woods’… - What a surprise to discover complex notes complimenting one another - a paradox of scent reminiscent of an open midafternoon meadow peppered with powdery pink Wild Rose all the while… surrounded by brazen vertical stands of conifer - yet softened by the sweet scent of arching canes of black raspberry blossom approaching late Spring & into June… Loving this gentle & sure personality - SOFT WOODS

This is my first perfume from paraphrase after buying big brands for a long time. Soft woods is such a beautiful scent, I love smelling it everyday. It’s so crisp and I look forward to smelling it on my jacket at the end of the day!

Really beautiful rosy-woody scent!

If you've ever wanted to smell like a woodland nymph in an enchanted forest, this one's for you.
I generally like quite "masculine" musk/oud scents, so when I got the sample pack, I was surprised that this stood out to me. It starts quite powdery and floral, so I wasn't sure at first! But as it dries down, the complexity comes through, and those forest scents start to mix with a spiciness from the frankincense at the bottom. I find that it remains quite sweet, but otherwise, it's one of those that seems to smell different every time I wear it, which makes it feel even more whimsical. I've since purchased the full-size bottle.
I haven't smelled anything quite like this before. It might not be for everyone, and if it's for you, it might not be your daily driver, but it absolutely hits its concept! I love it.

Wearing softwoods is like coming home to the beloved forests of my childhood, somehow capturing the essence of sun warmed earth and trees. It’s the smell I craved and longed for whenever I lived away from the mountains.
I am constantly being asked what is this incredible scent, and although I want it to be just mine… I have shared the source many times. Thank you for creating this, and all of your other delectable fragrances!
