Description
Sky by Scents of Wood presents a bold and spirited leather fragrance that beautifully balances untamed elegance with smoky sophistication. It opens with a rich Armagnac accord, weaving in the nuanced sweetness of dried fruits, caramelized woods, and a delicate hint of spice. As it develops, a daring animalic horse sweat note emerges, adding a raw, visceral sensuality that evokes sun-soaked stables and the bond between rider and beast. The scent settles into a smoky, leathery trail, grounded by woods like Leatherwood and Guaiacwood, creating an intoxicating interpretation of airy freedom tethered by an earthy, carnal depth. Perfumer: Yves Cassar

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.
