The story behind the bottle.
Sacred Wood Anniversary Edition by By Kilian, launched in 2022 and crafted by Calice Becker, is an ode to warm spices and woody notes that evoke a sense of lasting elegance. The composition opens with the earthy warmth of carrot seeds and ambrette, creating a complex and intriguing top layer. This leads into a heart of sandalwood and amyris, which adds depth and a subtle sweetness. Atlas cedar and milk bring a powdery, balsamic finish that lingers long after application. The result is a fragrance that feels both modern and deeply rooted in tradition.
Two sprays are enough to capture its essence. The carrot seeds and ambrette offer a quick burst that fades within an hour, but the sandalwood and balsamic base notes continue to evolve on your skin for hours. This fragrance is best enjoyed close to the skin rather than from afar.
