Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its 'eternal' longevity and very good sillage reported in reviews, this isn't office-friendly, as it could overwhelm colleagues. The rich amber, balsamic, and tobacco accords make it perfect for formal events or a memorable date night, where its challenging yet pleasant character can shine without interruption.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Myroxylon Balsamum Pereirae Balsam Extract from Peru Balsam

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Oak Wood opens with a sharp, almost medicinal burst of frankincense and cardamom, brightened by bergamot and a green hint of basil. As it settles, a smoky tobacco note emerges, softened by aromatic lavender and the unique, sweet anise of fennel. The dry down is deep and resinous, dominated by a rich Peru Balsam, underpinned by earthy oud and warm amber, creating a profound, lasting finish.
