The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Calm in Cedar by Scents of Wood is a Woody fragrance for women and men, launched in 2024 and crafted by perfumer Mackenzie Reilly. The composition opens with fruity and aromatic notes that create an immediate sense of freshness and tranquility. As the scent evolves, it reveals a warm and earthy heart of yellow florals and powdery undertones, before settling into a base of woody and ozonic accords that evoke the serene ambiance of a forest after rain.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to your pulse points for a subtle yet lasting effect. The fruity top notes are fleeting but impactful, so ensure you layer them over the deeper woody base that blooms gradually throughout the day.
