About Forward
Forward: crisp spice and dry woods, kept properly simple
Forward by Новая Заря (The New Dawn) sits in the Woody Spicy family for men. The approach is unfussy: a fresh, herbal-citrus lift followed by a drier, moss-led core.
With an average of 3.96 from 5 across 48 ratings, it is familiar to lovers of traditional, workmanlike perfumery. Less a niche showpiece, more a neat daily wear.
The opening pairs bergamot with coriander and caraway. Bergamot lends citrus brightness, while the coriander and caraway give a green, aromatic spiciness that steers clear of sweetness.
At the heart, moss and cedar take over. The moss feels earthy and faintly old-school, in a washbag rather than woodland way, and the cedar is lean and matter-of-fact.
Amber is the sole listed base note. Here it behaves as a gentle warmth, taking the edge off the dryness and leaving a tidy, faintly powdery finish.
That tallies with the accords on record: citrus, woody, aromatic, fresh-spicy, mossy and earthy, with powdery, soft-spice and amber touches. Nothing convoluted.
In wear it feels orderly and daytime-ready — freshness first, then dry wood, then a soft amber buffer.
It should appeal to those who enjoy traditional woody-spicy scents in a classic grooming style — fresh, dry, not sweet — and need something straightforward for the office or daily routine. It will also interest anyone exploring the no-frills character of Новая Заря.
Forward sets out to be useful rather than striking: citrus, green moss, cedar and amber shaped into a discreet, well-kept signature. If that restrained, powdery-dry style is your thing, it is worth a sniff.
