Sacred Wood

Sacred Wood

Sacred Wood is a meditative sandalwood study: a soft, milky opening wrapped in clean amyris warms into rich Mysore‑style wood, cushioned by balsamic copahu and subtle amber. It shifts from creamy and almost powdery to a drier, resinous trail with gentle spice and smoke close to the skin.

Scent Development and Character

A focused portrait of sandalwood that layers clean amyris and creamy Mysore facets over a resinous copahu balm glow. The wood feels milky and slightly sweet at first, then dries into a drier, more balsamic and subtly smoky structure with gentle spice and musk around the edges.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

Best suited to contemplative, close‑to‑the‑skin wear: office and quiet social settings, reading nights, and intimate evenings where a refined woody aura is preferred over strong projection. Most suited to autumn and winter; works in cooler spring days, less ideal for hot summer weather. Sillage is Moderate, sitting close to the wearer with a soft aura rather than room‑filling projection. Longevity is Moderately long‑lasting, often around 6–8 hours on skin with a stronger presence in the first half.
