Black Forest

Black Forest by Solstice Scents is a rich, dark gourmand with a profound woody and incense base, evoking a dense, mysterious forest atmosphere. The opening features dark chocolate, cherry liqueur, and a smoky oud accented by hay and tobacco, creating a decadent yet surprisingly refined scent. While some note a faint coconut or musty hay reading, the perfume unfolds with a deep, resinous depth rather than a saccharine sweet cake profile. It performs best in cooler months and nighttime wear, with notable longevity and moderate to strong sillage, making it ideal for intimate settings or dramatic evening looks. Despite its gourmand roots, the fragrance avoids cliché pastry or candy-like sweetness, instead leaning into earthy, complex notes that deliver a moody, immersive experience. A few users find the progression leans too heavily into bitter chocolate, smoke, or incense, which can overshadow the cherry aspect. However, for those seeking a deep, dark, and atmospheric gourmand with significant projection, this perfume delivers a uniquely evocative and memorable scent.
