The start of Taiga is really fresh and cold, with bright coniferous notes. After a couple of seconds, resinous and balsamic accents begin to emerge, such as elemi and olibanum. It's a feeling like you're standing in a winter forest, touching green buds and pine needles, and then you pick up amber resin that sticks to your fingers, leaving behind a toning coniferous scent. I still love doing that! This first phase is very soft and rounded, with a slight sweetness and some ethereal oiliness. Strangely, at first, I thought I caught faint notes reminiscent of turpentine. After about half an hour, Taiga loses that soulful sweetness that coniferous fragrances sometimes lack. It becomes stricter and colder, sometimes even sharp and persistent, with woody notes of cedar and pine. Unfortunately, I didn't notice any more changes; this phase lasts a long time on the skin. By the way, the fragrance has a sillage, although it's not too long, but it's noticeable and has a more "lenient" mood than the scent itself on the skin. I think this perfume is definitely more suitable for men )
