Is Murkwood suitable for daily wear at the office?+−
While it is highly regarded by enthusiasts, its profile is very niche and focused on smoke and heavy resins. Given its intimate projection, it likely won't offend others, but it is generally recommended for leisure or evening wear rather than a professional business setting.
How does this compare to Serge Lutens Fille en Aiguilles?+−
Both share a prominent coniferous theme, but Murkwood lacks the dried-fruit sweetness found in the Lutens. Murkwood is darker, smokier, and more focused on the earthy, mossy elements of the forest floor rather than resinous syrup.
Has the fragrance been reformulated since its 2020 release?+−
Yes, a 2023 revision added patchouli absolute and an increased dose of spruce to provide more depth and a richer, darker character compared to the original formulation.
Is this fragrance marketed toward men or women?+−
Murkwood is classified as unisex. While the woodsy, smoky accords are often associated with masculine tendencies, the fragrance is appreciated by anyone who enjoys realistic forest and botanical scents regardless of gender.
