North Star

North Star, released in 2021 by the French house The Woods Collection, is a floral fragrance for men with a fruity, leathery edge. Flowers lead, while gourmand, woody and leather accords share an equal supporting role.

Pomelo opens with a bright, slightly bitter citrus, and juniper adds a crisp, piney freshness. Raspberry soon brings a tart, juicy sweetness that softens the start. In the heart, rose and violet give a velvety, slightly powdery floral note, unusual and rather elegant in a masculine fragrance. The base turns darker and drier: leather adds a smooth, slightly smoky depth, and vetiver an earthy, rooty finish that grounds the fruit and flowers.

The overall feel is modern and a little unexpected, suited to men who enjoy floral notes in their fragrances. It works well for evenings out, dinners and smart casual occasions, and its leathery base makes it particularly comfortable in autumn and spring.
