Björk and Berries - Never Spring
The brand describes Never Spring eau de parfum as the scent of waiting for an almost interminable winter to end - there is both hope for Spring and a certain wintery despair all housed under the one roof. "Never Spring is a scent inspired by a longing for spring that never arrives - a fresh and green, yet crisp and cold scent that includes birch, lemon and cedarwood."
And indeed, the two sides - hope for spring warmth against endurance of (still) freezing weather - are well represented here. The warm, juicy blackberry and lemon topnotes are full of life, and represent a cheerful optimism that spring is just around the corner, an impression bolstered by green, leafy notes like cyclamen and bamboo. But then birch and wood drydown interjects the chill note of darkness that portends a continuing spell of icy breezes. An atmospheric and somehow joyful, upbeat perfume, Never Spring is a perfume with which to fight back!
