Description

Plum in Cognac by Scents of Wood is a luscious and unmistakable fragrance that masterfully balances sweet and spicy elements. It opens with a vibrant burst of juicy plum, rich rum, and warm cinnamon, immediately setting a decadent tone. As the scent develops, it reveals a captivating depth with hints of Peru balsam, osmanthus, and immortelle, adding a mysterious floral and resinous complexity. The dry down settles into a grounded warmth of vetiver and vanilla, creating a smooth, smoky finish that lingers beautifully on the skin. This fragrance, notably aged in a vintage cognac barrel, received the 2021 Perfume Extraordinaire of the Year Award. Perfumer: Pascal Gaurin
