Bowmakers

Bowmakers feels very dry, woody and resinous to me, with something that reminds me slightly of paper, an old bookshop or a workshop full of wood and varnished instruments. The opening is fresh and spicy, then it becomes more earthy, woody and slightly smoky as it dries down. I find it pleasant and well made, and I like the atmosphere it creates, but it never became a major favourite for me. It smells good and has personality, but compared with some other fragrances I have tried, it does not pull me back strongly enough to become something I really want to wear often.

Very specific wood character, smells exactly as you would think. But not my type of fragrance. Hard to put into words.

Authentic woody notes, very nice, just a bit too masculine-leaning for me.
