Dossier Woody Oakmoss, 100ml

This smells truly divine! It stayed on my skin for 8+ hours. But that's not the impressive part. The impressive part is this: I wanted to find a flexible fragrance that fit my average busy day and could "elevate" joggers and a Tshirt or yoga pants and a messy-bun: Home, School, Work, Coffee Shop, Kid-Sports, Errands, and finally Couch Cuddles with my Cuties. And you know what? Woody Oakmoss is the one. I keep her either by my front door or in my purse."Add to Cart" if you're a Millenial mama who makes the yoga pants and a hoodie uniform look cute--not because you want to, but because you don't have time to change. You still need to return a stack of books to the library, grab your grocery order, pick up the dog from the vet, and snag a soccer jersey from the dryer. So you make this lewk work. Since "making it work" is what every Millenial Mama calls a Thursday afternoon with a hot gluegun, 2 cups of day-old coffee in a sparkly tumbler, and 15 minute intervals to work back-to-back miracles--you're justifiably confident you can do it all in leggings and a hoodie and still feel appropriately dressed. Triage is your middle name, so when you get everything done with 48 seconds to spare, you start thinking, "with all this free time, I could have put on 'real' clothes after all". No you could not. We both know it, sister.But could you have have spritzed yourself with misting of "I've got it all handled?" Yes. Woody Oakmoss says, "I'm moving with a sense of purpose, methodically checking items off my list while staying positive and strong". It says, "I may be wearing a the first thing I grabbed this morning, but I smell effortless, feminine, and relaxed". It says, "I do all the things, all the time, in all the places--but when I miss a beat I laugh it off and keep it moving."So yeah. Add to Cart.

This fragrance is extremely well done, classy, and nuanced, it just turned out to not be my aesthetic despite liking the scent and performance. The fragrance really plays through the top, middle, and base individually while being deepened by each other. The opening citrus elements reminded me of a luxury soap you'd find in a really fancy hotel- not powdery but a slightly feminine green and citrus smelling bar of soap. Those top notes last a decent amount of time (30+ minutes), and then they blossom into a perfectly paired floral middle. These florals stay closer to the skin, not in a weak performance way, but just in the way they are crafted. It doesn't have this "bouquet of flowers I picked for the table" vibe, but a "I got this well thought out flower arrangement for my anniversary last night, and I'm looking at them and smiling while I take a business call the next morning." Very sophisticated, and unisex enough that the florals won't read girly or mature, just sophisticated. The base is elevated and adds maturity and longevity throughout the performance. This scent doesn't have a huge projection, but it feels crafted intentionally that way. You could spray more to get a louder scent bubble, but this doesn't feel like that kind of fragrance. If you want it to last all day in a more notable way, spray it on both yourself and your clothes. I picture a business woman in her 30s+ preferring this perfume. Some men might also enjoy this fragrance, but they would have to know they like a scent profile that feels like a spring-time UK femme boss lawyer who was and still is a bougie baddie.
