Between Jangala, Paris Seychelles and Indian Wood, the latter wins hands down … I realized that the best coconut is not the coconut itself but its milk! The secret of this little gem? Just coconut milk. Nothing wrong with the mint accord that makes the fragrance very fresh! If you need me, I’m in the Maldives to have a drink with my feet by the sea.
For now the best coconut I’ve ever heard.
Rating: 8.5 / 10

well, not sure why all the ‘hate’ and low rating, honestly, to me there is absolutely nothing wrong with this one, and I’m known to be fussy…it is a nice sweet-ish woody blend, quite a smooth operator here.
The only problem I may see with this one is relative comparison. It compares really well to anything that is non-PG but I can see how this may be a disappointment to PG fans (myself included). I agree that recently he has not really come up with anything nearly as ground-breaking as his first line(s) , the numbered cca 20 bottles.
Let’s give him a break, maybe the next one cuts it? Fingers crossed PG!

Oh PG, why must you keep toying with me this way? I’ve only recently got to know the brand, and every time I try something new from them, it’s such a disconcertingly random experience. They make terrific scents, and disasters, and “meh” ones. There are giant sillage monsters with unquenchable longevity and then there are heartbreakers which fade away within a distressingly short time. There are completely unexpected new combinations of ingredients, and utterly original things, and then others which are very much like something else. I’m all at sea with them.
So: this one should have been a near-cert for me on paper, and indeed it’s stuffed with delicious (not fakey-suncreamy, but genuinely creamy and fragrant) coconut and sandalwood and well-chosen spices of all the sort I like – but in fact, when sprayed, it just adds up to a rather mild-but-pleasant men’s EdT sort of feeling. Like other people say it’s surprisingly airy and fresh-outdoorsy for a supposed ‘woody spicy’, which doesn’t have to be a bad thing. Yet almost unbelievably for something so heavy on big-hitting notes, it’s crumpled down into a whisper of vague-yet-pleasant spicy skin scent in under 2 hours. What a shame. Frustrating because I like it a lot, when I can actually detect its presence; inside I feel like shouting at it “Speak up! I can’t hear [smell] you!”
Sorry PG but I think this one needs more work on the base to keep it hopping. It’s in the right ballpark but just feels a bit unfinished.

Love it! Perfectly unisex, woody yet fresh. I could easily see myself wearing this at night for a bbq or on a beach. It has this casual feel with it.
I do tend to gravitate towards woody fragrances but there are not many I would wear on hols. This has the lovely zing from the lemon zest, vetiver and mint. I like the coconut aspect as well. The spices are the perfect touch. The sandalwood makes the perfect base.
Moderate longevity and sillage.

I picked up a bottle of Indian Wood 11.1 and only recently started sampling it as the sun starts to come out and the cold weather begins to subside in Vancouver.
Indian Wood is a nice scent. It is a spicy aromatic fragrance with Indian spices like nutmeg and cardamon blended with sandalwood and coconut milk. The coconut is quite pronounced in this scent. This fragrance has a peppermint note, but I do feel it is fairly subtle relative to the spices and coconut. I also think the term ‘wood’ in the title of this fragrance is a bit misleading: the woods in this fragrance are not front and centre and this scent has a somewhat powdery vibe to it.
I do like this Indian Wood. The spices and the coconut note make this a very pleasant fragrance. I’m looking forward to wearing this scent in the Spring and cooler Summer weather as well.

This is a great fragrance. Very very clean vibe but not soapy. It’s a little boring though, seems like a typical fragrance that I’ve smelled oh so many times. Since I have so many niche bottles now, I am very picky on what I actually purchase and this will get no further than the sample vial I own. Now I am very very glad that the perfumer decided to use coconut instead of lavender, it seems like leave far should of been used for the type of fragrance it is, but that’s what makes this fragrance though. It’s NOT woody as the name suggests. The base has some soft woody undertones, but if you are looking for a actual wood smell keep looking.
Over all this fragrance lasts about 4-5 hours on my skin and longer on clothes naturally and the projection is ok, not bad but not good. The quality seems to be above average and the blend is great, no note over powers the other and such.
I rate this over all 8.5/10

This does smell like a creamier, less complex version of “HM” by Hanae Mori. It’s that combination of grey, powdery oakmoss and dry, synthetic lemon peel that makes it initially so similar.
After about 30 mins, the coconut note becomes more prominent. It’s not a convincing coconut -smells sort of waxy, more like fig-flavoured lip balm than anything gourmand, which was the main disappointment. I love coconut, and I was expecting this to smell like an exotic dessert based on the combination of notes -cardamom, nutmeg and sandalwood among them- but it reminds me more of body cream or suntan lotion; Perfume-y and synthetic.
Thumbs down.
