Cosmic Woods® - Extrait de Parfum

Great nostalgic fragrance can’t wait to try them all

This smells EXACTLY like the E.T. Adventure ride at Universal Studios. I love it!

Of the hundreds of fragrances I’ve smelled, none is a better “pure woods” scent than this. Imaginary Authors Cape Heartache gives some similar vibes but they are two very different fragrances (and it’s not redundant owning both). As another review mentioned, Cosmic Woods is a perfect fall and winter go-to. Very wearable; my family members love this on me, whereas they’re not such big fans of more avant-garde frags for daily wear. Despite the mass-appeal, this is still an interesting scent that doesn’t get old. Performance is good thanks to the ISO-E. There’s a little sweetness that’s just enough to give it an addicting quality but still smell like real woods (and like the ET Ride, which I loved as a kid). Finally, like other Xyrenas, the Hedione is the secret star that in this case really makes it Cosmic.

I have a few Xyrenea's in my fairly vast quiver. Xyrena 66, Dark Ride, Sneaker Head, and Shutter. While the aforementioned have their place in unique Nostalgia scents, Cosmic Woods is my Fall season go to. So much so, I alway keep a back up when I start to get low. The initial scent comes on as a sophisticated semi sweet fig and slowly dries into a sort of ISO E woody fragrance that has some pretty decent longevity. I use this one by itself and sometimes as a base layer for my other fall favorites. If you're into a semi sweet top note that fades in a really nice green base, you will not be disappointed in this one.

And it lasts all day, practically.
