The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020 by Scents of Wood and crafted by Pascal Gaurin, Oak in Bourbon is a Woody Spicy fragrance that captures the essence of aged oak and bourbon. The composition opens with fresh spicy notes and anis, creating a vibrant contrast to its earthy base. Lavender adds a subtle aromatic layer, rounding out the complexity of this unisex scent.

How to wear it

Apply Oak in Bourbon to your pulse points for the best effect. The fragrance's aromatic top notes are bright but short-lived, so reapply after two hours if you want to maintain its full character throughout the day.
