Path in the Woods
Path in the Woods by Annayake is a 2025 unisex woody floral built around rose, blackcurrant, narcissus, jasmine and a warm ambered base.

Performance data is very limited, so firm claims would be premature. The available signals point to long-lasting wear with moderate sillage. That suggests it may remain noticeable on skin without becoming overly loud, but anyone buying for projection or all-day strength should test it before committing.

EDITORIAL“Path in the Woods Annayake Review”
Path in the Woods is Annayake's 2025 unisex woody fragrance, although the first impression is more floral and green than heavily woody. The name suggests damp trails and shaded trees, but the note list points to something more polished: rose and blackcurrant in the opening, narcissus, jasmine and cyclamen through the heart, then ambergris, benzoin and patchouli in the base.
The opening should appeal to people who like florals with a touch of fruit. Rose gives the scent a familiar floral shape, while blackcurrant can add brightness, tartness and a slightly leafy edge. This is not built like a simple fruity rose perfume. The green and yellow floral facets matter, and they keep the scent from feeling too glossy or sweet.
The heart is where Path in the Woods becomes more distinctive. Narcissus can bring a rich, green, pollen-like floral effect, while jasmine adds white floral body and cyclamen keeps the composition fresher. Together, these notes suggest a floral scent with texture rather than a soft bouquet. Buyers who enjoy yellow florals may find this the most interesting part. Buyers who avoid narcotic or assertive florals should test it first.
The base warms the fragrance without turning it into a heavy amber perfume. Benzoin can give a smooth balsamic sweetness, patchouli adds earth and depth, and ambergris-style material can create a salty, skin-like warmth. That dry-down is likely where the woody classification makes the most sense, although the floral identity remains important.
Performance evidence is still thin, so it is better to be careful than overstate it. The available votes point to moderate sillage and long-lasting wear, but the sample size is very small. In practical terms, expect a fragrance that may stay present without necessarily filling a room. Skin chemistry will matter, especially with the floral, patchouli and ambergris facets.
Path in the Woods is best approached as a green floral woody scent for people who want something modern, warm and slightly textured. It looks especially suited to fall, mild spring days and daytime wear. It is probably not the safest blind buy if you are sensitive to yellow florals, patchouli, animalic warmth or balsamic sweetness, but it is worth sampling if those elements sound appealing.
