Very pleased with fragrance samples I got. But did take over 5 days to ship.
While I don't know if the Ohio Fragrance version of Winter White Woods exactly matches the BBW version, it doesn't matter, because I really enjoy the Ohio Fragrance version. I will definitely be buying this again.
It does smell like liquor, but I wouldn't say it smells like a bourbon barrel. I don't get any of the cedar barrel or vetiver notes, unless I sniff deeply but they're faint. Although, I don't recommend sniffing deeply if you're easily nauseated because it is a heady liquor note.
With that said, this is definitely a useful FO to have because mixing it with other FOs, like OFC's Smoked Vanilla Whiskey and Around The Fire, does give the finished result a very realistic liquor undertone. Noticeable and prominent projection OOB. I already mixed some of it with other FOs to make an ethanol-based perfume spray and the notes came through nicely.
This scents is so nostalgic love it
Beautiful soft calming relaxing scent
It honestly smells delicious, but I would have liked to smell a little more of the cedarwood note. To my nose, it smells like I'm holding a warmed up sweet maple donut that was baked a few hours ago and I'm sitting several feet away from a campfire. The smell of the "campfire" note is in the background. I don't remember what BBW's smells like but knowing what BBW fragrances usually smell like, I'd say this one probably replicates it quite well.
