Wildwhite

Wildwhite from the Italian house Rockford, released in 2015 as a masculine fragrance, is a cool, minty woody aromatic. Woody is the word everyone uses; about two thirds also find it aromatic, and a third spicy, green, fresh or citrusy.

Mint and white pepper open it with a cold, tingling freshness and a sharp, dry spice, while bergamot adds a clean citrus brightness. The heart continues the cooling theme: eucalyptus brings a camphorous, almost medicinal freshness, lavender a clean herbal calm, and pine a resinous, forest-like greenness. The base turns warmer and softer, with Texas cedar and sandalwood giving dry and creamy woods, moss a damp, earthy depth, tonka bean a hint of sweetness, and musk a smooth, skin-like finish.

The combination of mint, pine and dry woods suits spring and summer days and outdoor, active settings, and it should appeal to someone who wants a fresh scent that smells of forest rather than sea.
