Step back in time with Franck Boclet Woodstock to get a feel for the fascinating atmosphere of the 1960s. It was inspired by the iconic rock music festival and gathering of the hippie culture. Back then, it was an opportunity for people to escape into music and spread a message of unity and peace. Several decades down the road, but the fragrance still captures what freedom smells like. This amber spicy scent is gender-neutral, so both women and men will find it excellent to wear.
The olfactory pyramid of Franck Boclet Woodstock:
Top notes burst with the juicy freshness of bitter orange, bergamot and lime.
Heart notes unfold a lush floral bouquet of cannabis and wildflowers, with dried fruits lending a gourmand flavour.
Base notes are permeated by calming sandalwood and warm cedar along with slightly spicy patchouli.
Adding to the review, I realized something that bothers me a lot. It's licorice (cough syrup). Yep. For licorice lovers, it will most likely be very enjoyable. But since I don't like this smell, I can hear it a lot.
Very intriguing. Most likely, Woodstock smells like burnt cookies rather than something sweet that is quickly prepared in the field, and of course, it is not very sober hippies who set it on fire. It smells like burnt rubber and something irritatingly monotonous, like the sound of a mosquito, something relentless and sticky that gets in the way. They didn't include any hemp or flowers, but they did generously sprinkle autumn herbs in a pile of garden waste (when they burn it). Probably, it's just not my scent. But as a collected bouquet, it's quite interesting, maybe for a collection. I highly recommend trying it before buying.
The package arrived in October 2022, so I am writing this review after the scent has settled. In winter, the perfume has interesting notes of popcorn, movie theatre, hemp plant, and apricot jam (not whole slices, but already brownish porridge), and there is also something inexplicable for me with the jam, closer to vanilla; cookies, and there is something similar to the smell of newspaper. Now, in March, when it's warm and sunny, there are no winter nuances, but everything I mentioned earlier is present as a complex scent, with hemp dominating and dried fruits with a subtle citrus aroma. Previously, I didn't understand when reviews mentioned a "animalic" scent, it was unacceptable for me in a perfume. Well, here, in the beginning, there is that so-called "animalic" scent, but it only lasts for about 15-20 minutes together with the citrus, then it fades away, or you could say it's in the background, not noticeable when other aromas dominate. I found out that this scent comes from hawthorn, although it's listed in the "heart" notes in the description, but I can smell it right away. Maybe it's because of my skin type, I don't know. It's completely different from standard perfumes, although I blind-bought it and didn't make a mistake. It's a complete opposite of the famous "Cocaine", they only have black bottles in common. In conclusion, I really liked it. But I recommend getting a sample, as I think blind-buying may not suit everyone. I haven't worn it in the summer yet, I haven't had the chance, but for some reason, it seems like it might work well in hot weather, just one spray. Also, for me, it's a mood perfume, I think it suits any style of clothing, but I wear it when I'm inspired and in an uplifted mood.
This fragrance has a delightful scent, making it one of my favorites from this perfume house! If we disregard the description of its ingredients, it smells like licorice. It has a slightly childish, yet charming trail. It is also very long-lasting.
