Description

Oak in Oak by Scents of Wood presents a sophisticated and deeply woody experience, opening with a vibrant blend of saffron, cumin, and incense that immediately establishes a warm, spicy character. As it develops, the heart reveals a rich, aged oakwood accord, complemented by the earthy nuances of orris root, the clean texture of Virginia cedar, and a subtle leathery touch. The fragrance settles into a luxurious base of creamy tonka bean, powerful Amber Xtreme, and grounding patchouli, creating a long-lasting and enveloping warmth. This scent masterfully balances its robust woody core with intriguing spicy and resinous facets, evoking the refined aroma of spirits aged in oak barrels. Perfumer: Celine Barel
