The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020 and crafted by Mackenzie Reilly, Sandalwood in Oak by Scents of Wood is a Woody fragrance for women and men. The composition opens with an aromatic blend that gives way to a heart of powdery warmth, underpinned by the rich sweetness of vanilla and warm spices. This seamless transition creates an enveloping sense of comfort, where sandalwood takes center stage against the backdrop of oak's earthy depth.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points — the aromatic top notes will fade within an hour but the warm base of sandalwood and oak continues to linger. This fragrance is best for cooler evenings, where its warmth feels especially welcoming.
