I agree with all of the previous comments,Sonoma Scent Studio are efficient and have quality in their perfumes.You have the feeling when you put Winter Woods that you are resting near the trunk of a giant tree in the forest and smelling the birch,the roots and moses,the dirt and moist.

Like many others here, I am impressed with everything about Sonoma Scent Studio, from the quality and selection of fragrances to the thoughtful customer service.

Working my way through my sample box, I find myself today cocooned in Winter Woods.

The gorgeous opening is alive with woodsy spice. I do not detect oakmoss, but there is plenty of vetiver, guaiac and cedar in the greeting. Sandalwood becomes more prominent after the first 20 minutes and gives the ambery drydown a nostalgic, 70's vibe. What makes the drydown special is castoreum--a gentle dose, that never pushes Winter Woods into the dirty-amber realm of Bal à Versailles, but that made me reach for a BAV bottle just to be sure.

Another winner from Sonoma Scent Studio.

Honestly I would classify winter woods as a woody chypre, and if anyone is pining after discontinued Deneuve, may I suggest trying this one (quite a similarity to my nose)

I put this on and was transported down memory lane to a day spent at 10,000 Waves, a mountain spa above Santa Fe, NM. I parked in the upper lot then made my way up the pine covered walkway to the entrance. This is a Japanese themed spa, with clean lined walls and floors made of fragrant woods. I was there in the spring, when it was still chilly, and the fireplace was roaring and filling the room with a fragrant aroma.

I then moved on the the communal pool, where the only decision is to wear or not to wear a swimsuit (and how long to stay)

Winter woods captures everything from the initial walkway, to the crackling fire, to the pine covered walls surrounding the pools, and the au natural purity of the bathing experience. Truly relaxing, truly Western, truly special.

I am looking for a perfume that smells like the Winter Forest lotion from Williams-Sonoma. Is this similar or if not does anyone know of something out there?

Thank you!

Darlingbuds has already said all there is to say about this breathtakingly beautiful scent, so let me just tell you that to me it is the olfactory equivalent of an old song by The Cure called "A forest".
To me they both conjure up the same image of a dark, hazy, somewhat unsettling and at the same time irresistibly inviting forest. Deep, dark, mysterious and haunting. Incredibly gorgeous.

What a nice surprise! Sonoma Scent Studio's 'Winter Woods' is a stunning, rich perfume -- very reminiscent of the recently discontinued 'Organza Indecence'(Givenchy). WW is less sweet, less cloying, and a whole lot more woodsy. Still, an excellent alternative for those of you pining (no pun intended) for your beloved Indecence, AND a powerful, pretty perfume in its own right.

WW lasts nearly the whole day on my skin (though my skin is oily and perhaps holds the scent longer), and dries down to a lighter wood with wisps of smoke and the faintest tar.
If you work with sneezers or those otherwise sensitive to perfumes, this might not be a good choice for work (though you could, of course, dab it evvvvvvver so slightly somewhere discreet on your person), but make no mistake; though strong, WW is not 'loud' or obnoxious. The winter woods you'll find here is, just as Robert Frost's poem describes, 'the darkest evening of the year': dense, mysterious, and a tad supernatural. Just super, super juice.

Moreover, I'm also impressed with Sonoma Scent Studio's dedication to their customers; they're efficient, thoughtful and truly interested in making quality products. My shipping invoice had a hand-written note from Laurie Erickson (the nose) herself!
