Brand: Haus of Gloi
Scent Description: A well worn woolen sweater infused with brisk outdoor air, a hint of incense and clean skin musk. Accompanied by three woods and a root: western red cedar heartwood, hawthorn accord and Japanese hiba with a touch of calamus root.
This smells like a wool sweater imbued with incense that’s been burning while taking a walk in a winter woods. It approaches dryer sheet territory but is not quite there. Very comforting, with good longevity and quiet throw. A good winter skin scent when you want a refreshing break from gourmands and heavier spice/incense blends.
The woodsy scent combined with incense and outdoor air is just perfect, it really is like an idealized version what you would want your boyfriend’s sweater to smell like, I love it
This one reminds me somewhat of a basic men’s cologne only muted. I love all of the different wood notes in this. I think that’s what makes this so good. I think this can be considered a unisex scent but it definitely leans more masculine. This would be good to tone down a gourmand that was too sweet. I would not mind at all if my man (and his sweaters) smelled like this…wouldn’t mind it one bit. This is definitely a fall/winter scent although I can see some getting away with wearing this year round.
It’s quite a nice spicy woody incense, and smells nice on my sweater (it’s been so cold here I feel like I’m wearing a sweater everyday).
The skin musk in this one is the same as in Cozy Sweater, but it’s lurking underneath a fair bit of “drugstore men’s cologne” on my skin. In the bottle, it has a young wood quality (green, a little bitter) with fuzzy incense.
