Description

Ebony in Oak by Scents of Wood offers a deep and luxurious woody aromatic experience, opening with an intriguing blend of pink pepper, cardamom, and saffron. It develops into a rich heart where geranium provides a subtle floral touch, harmonizing with the rare ebony wood. The fragrance settles into a warm, smoky, and subtly sweet base of suede, cocoa, tonka bean, and Virginia cedar, creating a sophisticated and multi-layered profile that leaves a lasting impression of refined elegance. This scent is often described as a bold and captivating composition, ideal for those who appreciate a profound woody character with gourmand nuances. Perfumer: Yves Cassar
