This sampler gives you fragrances that are reminiscent of being in the middle of a majestic forest. The smell of the forest is a complex blend of scents, often described as earthy, woody, and fresh. It's a result of various volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by trees and other vegetation. The smell of damp earth, sometimes described as petrichor, is a key component, especially after rain. This is due to the chemical compound geosmin, which is released by soil bacteria and gives the earth a characteristic earthy undertone. Pine and cedar trees contribute a fresh, resinous scent. The pungent aroma of pine needles and cones is often mentioned when describing forest smells. Another factor that contributes to the inviting smell of a forest includes the earthy notes that make up the forest floor. This is usually a layer of decomposing leaves, twigs, and other organic matter, creating an earthy aroma that is often described as musty or rich. Other scents include decaying wood, moss, foliage, moisture, decomposing leaves, mushrooms, herbs and plants, fruity scents, fresh air and wildflowers.

- BPAL 2005 Blood Moon Perfume Oil - The feral scent of the heat of the chase, deep woods, undulating musks, brushed by forest herbs, crushed grains and touched by blood-dimmed lunar oils.
- Fyrinnae Forest Grandeur Perfume Oil - A forest just at the base of the mountains in autumn's first light snow, dominated by fir, hemlock, western red cedar (not a true cedar, but a cypress), and various pines. They grow so close together in some spots that in the first few light snows of the season, the ground is nearly dry under the branches, and walking through you still get the scent of warm earth and brown needles beneath the evergreen boughs and sweet wood scents.
- White Owl Perfumery Forest Walk Perfume Oil - Ever since the perfumer can remember, she has always loved the forest and loved to take forest walks. From short walks to very long hikes, the forest has always beckoned and each forest has a different scent. It’s like the scene presents the canvas for the scent. And every forest has some significant scent variation all of its own. One person's forest may not be another's. Forest Walk features notes of forest mist, ferns, juniper, sap, moss, soft florals, dirt, cypress, silver fir, neroli, ho wood, mimosa and much more earthy goodness.
- Freyja’s Daughters Baba Yaga Perfume Oil - Baba Yaga is a Slavic/Baltic folklore figure. She is the mother/maiden/crone who lives in deep in the dark woods. She lives in a magical home on chicken legs that she is able to move with her will. Her home is surrounded by a fence made of bones of bad people. She is a Goddess figure of witchcraft, death, birth, healing, regeneration and the elements. Her scent is something as unique as the Baba Yaga herself. It is a deep earth scent. It smells like the forest during a rainstorm - like moss, earth, forest floor, leaves and trees. It is pure magic.
