Description
Vetiver in Wool by Scents of Wood is a sophisticated Eau de Parfum that beautifully captures the textured warmth of wool, offering a refined and elegant scent experience. It opens with a lively, invigorating blend of orange oil, cardamom, angelica seed, and cypress, creating a fresh and aromatic introduction. As it develops, a rich heart of mastic, Indonesian patchouli, and Spanish labdanum emerges, grounding the fragrance with a woody and resinous depth. The scent settles into a smooth, long-lasting base where Haitian vetiver takes center stage, amplified by Amber Xtreme for an earthy yet elegant finish with a subtle, lingering smokiness. This fragrance moves like sunlit shadows, wrapping earthy vetiver in a warm and resinous glow, making it a polished and versatile choice.
