An immersive journey into the heart of an ancient woodland, Soul of the Forest by Maison Margiela is a deep, resinous chypre fragrance that conjures the sacred stillness of nature untouched. Launched in 2016, this unisex Eau de Parfum is a mystical tribute to earthy richness, spiritual calm, and primal connection.
The fragrance opens with the wild tang of black currant, the green dampness of moss, and a spicy whisper of pimento—evoking the first step into a shadowed grove. At its core, balsam fir, labdanum, and maple sap create a warm, golden resin that envelops the senses in tranquility. Anchored by smoky incense, patchouli, and Atlas cedar, the scent settles into a meditative base that lingers like ancient secrets in the air.
Soul of the Forest is crafted for the seeker and the grounded soul alike—a fragrance that resonates with depth, reflection, and the silent power of the natural world.
