Has Soul of the Forest been discontinued?+−
Yes, this fragrance was part of the Replica Fantasies collection and has been discontinued by Maison Margiela, meaning it is no longer available at most major retail counters.
Is this a good choice for someone who likes spicy fragrances?+−
While it is categorized as a woody green scent, the pimento and frankincense provide a distinct spicy and resinous backbone that will appeal to fans of dry, peppery woods.
How does this compare to other "forest" scents like Encre Noire?+−
Soul of the Forest is less "inky" and harsh than Encre Noire. It features a notable resinous sweetness from the fir balsam and cistus that makes it feel more like a living forest and less like cold, damp earth.
Is this suitable for the office or business settings?+−
Yes, after the initial pungent opening of blackcurrant and pimento, the fragrance stays relatively close to the skin with a clean, cedar-heavy dry down that is professional and non-offensive.
