Scent as part of identity: finding your perfume signature

Forfolks Winter is an eau de parfum by the Russian brand Forfolks, released in 2023.
This unisex oriental fragrance has an expressive, rich character and a very powerful sillage. It was created for those who love noticeable compositions with a warm, spicy and slightly dramatic atmosphere.
The name Winter perfectly conveys the mood of the release: the composition evokes a winter evening, when the air outside is frosty and deep wine-like and alcoholic nuances unfold in the glass.
At the same time, the fragrance does not smell monotonous or heavy — its character is built on the contrast between juicy fruity freshness, bitter-green nuances and dense oriental warmth.
Forfolks Winter opens brightly and energetically, gradually transitioning into a darker, more sensual and richer scent.
It evokes the atmosphere of a festive evening: the fruity accent seems to become more expressive thanks to wine and rum undertones, while a green bitterness adds character and complexity to the composition.
This fragrance is suitable for women and men who prefer not subtle background scents, but a full-fledged olfactory statement.
It is especially fitting for the colder months, evenings, gatherings, formal occasions and walks, when its dense sillage develops more slowly and sounds at its most expansive.
Because of its very strong projection, Forfolks Winter should be applied sparingly.
Start with one spray on the skin and add another if necessary: on warm skin, the composition quickly gains intensity.
The recommended amount for application to clothing is not specified, so it is best to test the fragrance on a small area of fabric first and keep in mind that the oriental and alcoholic accents may linger for a particularly long time.
Forfolks Winter was created by Maksim Ambrosevich and Tatyana Ambrosevich.
Their duo built the composition around contrasts: a sparkling opening gives way to a rich heart, while the dry-down leaves a warm, balsamic impression.
The release demonstrates Forfolks’ distinctive interest in expressive fragrances with an atmospheric story.
Winter does not aim to be neutral or universally unobtrusive. On the contrary, it is intended for lovers of long-lasting compositions who want to emphasize their individuality and leave an impressive trail behind them.
To explore rich oriental fragrances further, consider The Spirit of Dubai Bahar, as well as The Spirit of Dubai Durra and Edgardio Chilini Votre nuit.
These fragrances share a noticeable presence and a festive, evening mood. However, Forfolks Winter stands out with its combination of fruity juiciness, wine-like depth and a distinctive wormwood bitterness.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The top notes open with juicy cherry, lemon, and mandarin, creating a fruity and citrusy accord at once.
Cherry adds richness and a subtle tartness to the opening, while the citrus nuances make it more sparkling.
Red wine, rum, and wormwood (Artemisia) unfold at the heart of the composition.
The wine-and-alcohol accord lends the fragrance depth and a dark sensuality, while the wormwood adds a dry, green bitterness.
The base is built around immortelle and hibiscus, leaving a soft, balsamic, and slightly floral trail.
Overall, the olfactory pyramid brings together fruity, citrusy, green, floral, balsamic, and boozy nuances in an oriental composition.
