Due to Hwyl's poor staying power, I personally prefer using it at home for relaxation, especially after a shower or before bed, rather than when going out. However, when I do wear it out, I've found that layering Hwyl as a base with other Aesop fragrances works wonderfully.

While the mild fragrance is a plus, the longevity is truly disappointing. I'm deducting one star because of how quickly it fades.

Many fragrances can be overpowering to the point of discomfort, but Hwyl has a subtle, natural scent that perfectly captures Aesop's unique essence. The fragrance is absolutely delightful and layers beautifully with other scents.

Be careful not to overspray, or you might end up smelling like a tree. Also, watch out when spraying on clothes - the scent can linger for days.

Great longevity and no artificial scent. I love the slightly bitter woody fragrance.

Less of a tip and more of an observation: in these times of political uncertainty and gloom, inhaling this scent seems to calm my anger and soothe my nerves a bit.

While it's not a complete doorway dud, the longevity isn't great, so I tend to wear it just for my own enjoyment.

If I had to choose one fragrance for life, it would be Hwyl. It's closer to Lapsang Souchong than Jeong San So Jong, with a sharp, smoky scent. Some say it smells like a temple, smoked sausage, burnt wood, or the woody aroma you get when entering a sauna - definitely a love-it-or-hate-it scent. In my younger days, I preferred floral and citrus notes, but life experiences have led me to favor woody fragrances. This is my signature scent, and I keep repurchasing it before it runs out.

It seems to suit cooler days better than hot ones.

As this is a perfume I truly adore, I can't find any faults with it.

The subtle woody scent is unique and creates a calming atmosphere. Personally, I find myself reaching for this more often than flashier fragrances.

If you're a fan of woody fragrances, you'll get great use out of this.

The scent might be a bit strong for some. It may not suit all weather conditions.

Perfect for rainy days. The lasting power is just right.

The scent might be polarizing and can become a bit tiresome. It seems more suitable for winter than summer.

The scent is unique and long-lasting. It's a fragrance that's hard to put into words!

Not much to criticize... If you're a fan of woody fragrances, you might find this less polarizing.

The scent is like charred tree bark scraped together and burned. It's like an older, bolder version of Thé Noir 29. Beyond just a temple incense smell, to me it's as if someone set fire to an entire forest, gathered all the ashes and scorched wood, and stuffed them right into your nose.

Sometimes when I'm not feeling well and I spray it, the strong fragrance seems to make me feel a bit queasy.

The lasting power is excellent, and I love the damp woody scent. When I spray it, I feel like I'm immersed in a cypress bath deep in the mountains.

When I first sprayed it, there was an oily smell that was quite off-putting.

The scent is one I really enjoy. It has a lovely temple fragrance!

The strong mood of the scent can make it challenging to match with certain outfits. Also, you might become desensitized to the fragrance if you smell it continuously.

If you're looking for a fragrance that combines woody notes with a smoky essence, I don't think you'll find a better option than this perfume.

I layer it with Aesop's Reverence hand cream for longer-lasting fragrance. Both have woody notes, so they blend well.

At 140,000 won for 50ml, it's quite pricey. The scent is so lovely that I want to keep spraying and smelling it, but due to the cost, I'm forced to use it more sparingly.

With the pandemic preventing travel, I was feeling down, but Aesop's Hwyl fragrance has been incredibly therapeutic. It's like inhaling phytoncides in a deep cedar forest... or soaking in a misty outdoor hinoki bath. Unlike perfumes worn to impress others, this scent feels truly for personal healing. I love experiencing its sophisticated, subtle notes of nature, reminiscent of aromatherapy. Wearing it on walks makes nature seem even more beautiful.

For an eau de parfum, I don't feel like it has exceptionally long-lasting power. The lingering scent is subtle and delicate, which can be both a charm and a drawback. Since the initial scent is quite intense, make sure to test it thoroughly before buying.

As someone who loves woody, herbal, and forest scents, I think this perfume perfectly satisfies all my preferences. I highly recommend trying it on before purchasing. The first impression I got when smelling it was an exotic aroma reminiscent of a massage shop in Southeast Asia. It has a unique fragrance that seems perfect for mind and body therapy! For me, it's a signature scent that I absolutely adore.
