The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Oud in Acacia by Scents of Wood, launched in 2020 and crafted by Yves Cassar, is a fragrance that balances the richness of oud with the delicate sweetness of acacia. The composition opens with rose and white florals, creating an initial impression of elegance and warmth. As it develops, woody accords and powdery notes add depth, while vanilla provides a comforting undercurrent. This blend captures the essence of a refined, sophisticated scent that is both complex and inviting.

How to wear it

Apply Oud in Acacia lightly to pulse points — its rich base notes emerge slowly, so it's best experienced close to skin. It pairs well for both daytime and evening wear but shines particularly at night when the woody and powdery elements come into full bloom.
