The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2021 and crafted by Jean-Marc Chaillan, Papyrus in Acacia by Scents of Wood is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for men that seamlessly blends the warmth of leather with the earthy depth of tuberose and acacia. The opening notes of green and smoky accords create an intriguing tension before giving way to the rich, creamy undertones of coconut and white florals. This composition captures the essence of a sun-drenched landscape where ancient trees stand tall against the sky.

How to wear it

Papyrus in Acacia develops best close to skin rather than projecting across a room. One or two sprays are sufficient — the smoky and woody accords build gradually over time, reaching their full depth after an hour.
