What do reviewers say about ONSEN and Forest Ritual?
ONSEN is a fougère, a shower-gel fougère, some say, and they're not wrong. The herbs are creamy, not sharp. The aquatic isn't ozonic. It's the kind of composition that asks you to settle in.ONSEN
The hinoki and moss make this feel like a forest, not a fantasy of one. Clean heat up front, green stillness underneath. Not loud, but it stays. Moderate sillage, strong value. That's the whole pitch.Forest Ritual
