The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020 by Scents of Wood and crafted by perfumer Céline Barel, Oak in Oak is a Woody fragrance for women and men that captures the essence of a richly layered forest. The composition opens with fresh spicy notes that cut through to create an initial burst of energy before settling into warm amber and balsamic accords. A deep, smoky earthiness weaves throughout, evoking the feeling of walking through a dense, ancient woodland where each step reveals new layers of complexity.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to pulse points for optimal longevity. The smoky base notes take about an hour to fully bloom, so give it time to develop on your skin before reassessing its presence.
