Description
The Scents of Wood Calm in Cedar & Strength in Santal Bundle offers a harmonious pairing of two distinct yet complementary fragrances, each designed to evoke specific moods. Calm in Cedar opens with a bright, green medley of fig, violet leaf, mimosa, and black currant, settling into a comforting woody embrace of cedarwood, oud, and tonka bean, creating a serene and grounded feeling. Strength in Santal, on the other hand, presents a seamless blend of cool aquatic notes with the creamy warmth of sandalwood, spiced with cardamom and softened by musk and amber, aiming to inspire empowerment and confidence. Together, they provide a versatile olfactory wardrobe, moving from tranquil forest retreats to invigorating, self-assured moments. Perfumer: Mackenzie Reilly.

Scents of Wood is a niche fragrance house founded in 2019-2020 by Fabrice Croisé, a French perfume industry veteran now based in Utah, inspired by forests, trees, and the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku or 'Forest Bathing.' The brand's unique philosophy centers on capturing L'Âme du Bois—the soul of wood—through aging organic cane alcohol in recycled wooden barrels and blending with rare woody essences in collaboration with IFF perfumers, creating deep, evocative scents with a woody backbone for fragrance enthusiasts seeking nature's mystery.
