Concrete Forest by Prin Lomros is not your typical cologne. It’s a fragrance that defies expectations, much like the modern man who appreciates the finer nuances in life. This isn’t about overpowering scents or adhering to tired masculine tropes; it’s about embracing complexity and finding serenity amidst the urban rush. Forget what you think you know about traditionally bold or aggressively masculine fragrances – Concrete Forest carves its own path, offering a sophisticated and contemplative olfactory experience.
Unveiling Tokyo’s Olfactory Harmony
Inspired by the vibrant yet tranquil heart of Tokyo, Concrete Forest captures the essence of a city where nature and urbanity intertwine. Imagine strolling through bustling streets lined with resilient Ginkgo trees, finding pockets of peace in hidden parks, and appreciating the subtle beauty in the everyday chaos. This fragrance bottles that very experience, offering an escape and a moment of introspection within your daily routine.

A Symphony of Green and Citrus Notes
The opening of Concrete Forest is a breath of fresh air, literally. It bursts forth with vibrant greenness derived from Ginkgo leaves, bamboo, and galbanum. These notes are not just green; they are luminous, evoking the bright foliage that punctuates Tokyo’s cityscape. This initial freshness is invigorating, setting the stage for a scent journey that is both uplifting and grounding.
To further awaken the senses, mint and Hassaku Orange join the composition. The mint provides a cooling, revitalizing touch, while the Hassaku Orange, a unique Japanese citrus fruit, adds a tangy and refreshing zest. Imagine the crispness of a morning breeze in a bustling city park – that’s the invigorating opening of Concrete Forest.

The Tranquility of Green Tea and Delicate Florals
As the initial citrus and green notes settle, the heart of Concrete Forest unfolds, revealing a sense of profound tranquility. Green tea, a cornerstone of Japanese culture, infuses the fragrance with a calming and meditative aura. This isn’t just a scent; it’s an invitation to a moment of serene contemplation, reminiscent of a traditional Japanese tea ceremony. The herbal, slightly grassy notes of green tea add depth and sophistication, moving away from simplistic cologne profiles.
Adding to the complexity and elegance are floral notes of mandarin orange blossom, Japanese white magnolia, and angelica seed. These blossoms are subtle yet present, mirroring the delicate flowers that thrive even in the heart of a metropolis. Mandarin orange blossom brings a touch of sweetness, while Japanese white magnolia offers a pure, graceful aroma. Angelica seed, with its herbal and slightly earthy qualities, adds a unique vibrancy that complements the green tea and citrus beautifully.

Ascending to Serenity: The Fuji Mountain Accord
The fragrance journey elevates as it introduces the Fuji mountain accord. This element encapsulates the pure, crisp air of Japan’s iconic mountain, bringing a sense of serenity and inner peace. It’s a reminder to seek higher perspectives, even amidst the grounded reality of city life. This accord adds a layer of ethereal freshness, further distinguishing Concrete Forest from heavier, more conventional colognes.
Grounded in Urban Harmony: Concrete and Moss
The base notes of Concrete Forest are where the fragrance truly embodies its name. The blend of concrete and moss is an ingenious representation of the urban landscape and the nature that persists within it. This combination creates a captivating contrast, highlighting the harmonious coexistence of the man-made and the natural. It’s a grounding element, reminding us of the beauty found in unexpected juxtapositions.
Finally, the fragrance gently concludes with orris and cucumber. Orris adds a powdery, subtly floral softness, while cucumber imparts a crisp and refreshing quality. These final touches ensure a clean and refined finish, leaving a lasting impression that is both sophisticated and understated.
