The Story

Wholesome. Intimate. Delicious.

Golden Warmth

An explosion of refined balsams brings a golden opulence to the gourmand category, transforming sweetness into something deeply textural and luxurious. Perfumer Meabh Mc Curtin imagined a comforting, almost edible signature—one that evokes the warmth of freshly baked bread with a velvety, resinous depth. At the heart of the scent is a toasted richness, where balsamic elegance meets nostalgic indulgence.

Edible Refinement

The addictive warmth of Bran Absolute, with its mouthwatering notes of honey, chocolate, and cereal, conjures the aroma of puffed grains and golden crusts. Its savory sweetness is wrapped in the buttery softness of Sandalwood Oil from New Caledonia—an ingredient known for its creamy, clean, and enveloping woodiness. Together, they create a mellow yet powerful signature that’s both cozy and elevated.

A Decadent Contrast

This comforting richness is sharpened and deepened by a ribbon of camphorous Rosemary and the smoky shimmer of Olibanum. These elements slice through the gourmand haze, lending structure, light, and complexity to the fragrance. The result is a composition that feels like a toasted indulgence—gourmand, yes, but with restraint and refinement. An invitation to wrap yourself in softness while savoring something utterly addictive.

The House

Scents of Wood is an American house founded by Fabrice Croisé, a French fragrance-industry veteran who wanted wood to be the subject of a perfume, not its shadow. The name borrows from shinrin-yoku, the Japanese practice of forest bathing. What sets the house apart is a technique few others attempt: each fragrance is composed in organic sugarcane alcohol that has been aged in a vintage wooden barrel — casks that once held bourbon, rye, cognac, calvados, or even maple syrup — so the alcohol carries a soft, faintly boozy warmth into the finished scent. The perfumes are made and aged in New York and finished in Utah, composed with a roster of accomplished perfumers; the house's Plum in Cognac took a Fragrance Foundation Award in 2021. Each bottle echoes the theme — a rounded vessel crowned with a hand-finished branch.
