Maison Martin Margiela Soul of the Forest is part of the new Reproduction of Familiar Fantasies collection from Maison Martin Margiela's Replica line. There are four fragrances in the collection. It stems from their first collection, a concept of memories and emotions transformed into scents, but takes it a step further expressing human fantasies.
In wording from their website: "The spirits of nature belong to some of mankind’s oldest mythologies. Does the forest have a soul: a dryad skipping through the trees, perhaps? An invisible presence vibrating in the very peripheries of our human awareness? Shapeless, silent, and untouchable, the soul of the forest sings a soft melody of tree song, tasting of the sweet sap of the gods."
Soul of the Forest features top notes of blackcurrant and pink pepper; middle notes of labdanum (rockrose), fir balsam and woods; and base notes of Atlas cedarwood, moss and patchouli.

Fragrantica - "Combining "Souls of the Forest" and "By the Fireplace," creates a unique and multifaceted scent experience. "Souls of the Forest" offers an earthy, woody fragrance with green, mossy undertones, evoking a fresh, serene woodland atmosphere. "By the Fireplace" provides a contrasting warmth with smoky, sweet, and spicy notes, reminiscent of a cozy and smoky Marshmallow. Blending these two fragrances results in a harmonious balance of freshness and warmth, where the forest's crispness complements the comforting, fiery embrace, producing an enveloping, complex aroma that is both invigorating and soothing."
Fragrantica - "The dry down is HEAVENLY. a walk in the forest after a storm. sappy cedar, fresh oak and wet moss. I will wear this but it’s definitely unisex leaning more masculine. It’s delicious, an experience on its own."
