The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Cedar in Acacia by Scents of Wood was launched in 2020, crafted by the perfumer Pascal Gaurin. This Woody Aromatic fragrance for both women and men opens with a fresh spicy accord that introduces an unexpected tension, before giving way to earthy and powdery notes. The heart of this composition features iris, adding depth and complexity, while the base is anchored by warm spices and amber, creating a rich and comforting backdrop.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to pulse points. The fresh spicy top notes are bright but fleeting, so allow a few minutes for the deeper earthy and woody accords to settle in. This fragrance is best suited for indoor settings where its warmth and depth can be fully appreciated.
