The story behind the bottle.
Orange in Chestnut by Scents of Wood was launched in 2020 and crafted by perfumer Carlos Benaïm. This composition opens with a bright citrus freshness that cuts through the rich, warm tones of chestnut wood and amber. The white floral heart adds a subtle sweetness, balancing the fresh spiciness and woody base. It’s a fragrance that captures the essence of a crisp autumn day, where the scent of ripe oranges mingles with the earthy warmth of fallen chestnuts.
Apply this fragrance in light layers — its fresh spiciness and woody base notes unfold gradually over time. It pairs well with cooler weather but can also be worn year-round for a touch of crisp freshness.
