From the brand - "An intriguing fragrance with a hint of eccentricity. Reminiscent of a Hinoki forest, smoky notes descend into subtle spice and dark green, earthy accords."
Fragrantica - "Big fan of this one. Definitely has major similarities with CDG Hinoki at its opening but changes direction once the dry down starts. Dry, herbal, medicinal, earthen and slightly smokey, this is an easy pick up for anyone who is into dry woody scents."
Fragrantica - "Long story short, this smells like you've encountered a shinobi deep in a secluded part of some Japanese forest and they ninja-vanished on you with a smoke bomb. 10/10 would ninja again"
Fragrantica "An earthy, mystical, deep forest delight!! Smooth cypress, and slow burning incense. Gives me either meditative/yoga vibes or whimsical studio ghibli vibes depending on mood. This is close to signature scent worthy for me and is ridiculously good on my partner."
Fragrantica - "ohhh this is so good. I love dry woods and hwyl is a slighty camphorous spicy wood with a thin smoky incense note. It smells like tramping through a forest in the fall when the leaves are dried up and brushes prick at your ankles and there are tiny yellow flowers springing out of the dirt. the cypress gives it a river-like aquatic quality, as though you're hiking by a waterfall and occasional mist reaches your nose. meditative and calming; I could wear this every day and feel just like myself."
