The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020, Birch in Acacia by Scents of Wood is a Woody fragrance crafted by perfumer Yves Cassar. The composition opens with an aromatic and smoky birch note, which contrasts beautifully against the warm spicy and leather elements that follow. This interplay creates a rich blend of earthy warmth, anchored by powdery amber and vanilla notes that lend depth and comfort. It is neither overly sweet nor overwhelming, striking a balance between ruggedness and sophistication.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points. The smoky top notes are fleeting but make way for a longer-lasting base that becomes more pronounced as the day progresses. This fragrance is best worn during cooler hours, where its warm spicy and powdery accords can fully shine.
