Rain on Oak

The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives, where the earthy aroma of coffee beans mingles with a hint of wood smoke.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Rain on Oak by Scents of Wood was launched in 2023 and crafted by the esteemed perfumer Paul Guerlain. This woody aquatic fragrance opens with a marine accord that evokes the freshness of rain on leaves, followed by the powdery warmth of iris and rose. The composition settles into a rich base of musky amber and woody notes, creating an atmosphere that feels both earthy and comforting. It is neither overtly sweet nor overpowering, striking a balance between crispness and depth.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points; this fragrance blooms slowly and lasts well throughout the day. It is best enjoyed close to skin rather than diffused in a room, as it reveals its complexity through direct contact.
