The house of Wild Drops Parfums gifted the world with Gray Forest in 2019. A unisex fragrance belonging to the wood family. Perfumer Anna Nikishina is the author behind this composition. The fragrance concentration is perfume extract.
Made in Russia, backed by a long and proud tradition. Gray Forest Wild Drops Parfums unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
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 rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
The most concentrated form of perfume with a deep, multifaceted composition, exceptional durability, and an expressive trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The composition of Gray Forest is built as an expressive line of development, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The creative approach of Wild Drops Parfums is recognizable in details that define the fragrance identity. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Perfume extract emphasizes a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
The internal accord map rests on these accords: Balsamic, Aquatic, Floral and Wood forming a compact and readable structure. Background accords such as Amber and Mineral enrich the profile without taking over. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
In the top tier you sense delicate white floral top notes: Lily of the Valley, Neroli and Pine Needles.
When the opening settles you sense Aquatic accord, Concrete, Red Cedar and Spruce holding a spicy-woody direction.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Whiteflower, Floral, Wood and Mineral. It also reaches into Fairy, Earthy / Mossy and Animals.
Overall Gray Forest sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best understood on skin.
