About
Splendid Wood by Yves Saint Laurent is a Woody Spicy fragrance for women and men. Splendid Wood was launched in 2014. Splendid Wood was created by Marie Salamagne and Amandine Clerc-Marie. Top notes are Incense and Cardamom; middle notes are Oriental Woodsy notes and Jasmine Sambac; base notes are Agarwood (Oud), Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha and Cedar. Yves Saint Laurent Oriental Collection has received the fourth fragrance inspired by wood. That is the edition called Splendid Wood based on precious woody notes created in oriental style. Precious ingredients for this fragrance to fill the luxurious glass flacon decorated with gold colors were selected by perfumers Marie Salamagne and Amandine Marie. The woody composition in which the main role is played by several types of wood from the Middle East along with oud and cedar is spiced with cardamom and thyme. Gentle and elegant sambac jasmine petals provide a fine layer which cools the woody-spicy character, accompanied with cypriol bestowing characteristic woody-earthy shades. After Majestic Rose, Noble Leather and Supreme Bouquet introduced last year, the new fragrance of the Oriental Collection can be expected on the market in March 2014. Flacon of the new perfume Splendid Wood repeats form and design of previous editions of the Oriental collection and will be available as 80ml Eau de Parfum.
