Juicy Couture - Majestic Woods EDP

Majestic Woods (“Woods”) is an oriental woody fragrance released in 2017.  It’s Juicy Couture’s spin on niche oriental woody fragrance and is very different from the classic Juicy scent profiles.

Woods opens with an intense woody note that seems to take on elements of an oud-like replica.  There is a moderate patchouli that adds an earthy element and a lightly sweetened praline.  The praline both intensifies the wood theme and adds a slightly sweet caramelized note.  Tonka bean seems to lay in the background adding some warmth and shy vanilla spice to the accord.

As Woods wears, some of the initial intensity of the woody – patchouli opening seems to soften.  A lightly syrupy note enters and the wood note becomes somewhat more complex.  There is a somewhat synthetic, but not unpleasant, feel to the fragrance at this point in wear.  Woods takes on a brief pipe tobacco tone and remains a warm, lightly spicy and sweet, earthy wood and mellows toward its dry down. 

Woods wears on me with moderate projection for roughly 9 – 10 hours.

Notes:  praline, tonka bean, woody notes, amber, ambrox, patchouli
