Anima Vinci Wood Of Life is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Michel Roudnitska. Wood Of Life opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, Mandarin, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Petitgrain, Rose, Ylang-Ylang, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Anima Vinci's Wood Of Life carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you - this isn't a walk in the woods. It's a citrus-spice storm with an old-school, sophisticated edge that might just split opinions. Those expecting deep woods are in for a surprise.

Its moderate sillage and 'spa-like', sophisticated character make it suitable for various settings, though it might be a bit too present for a quiet office. The old-school vibe lends itself well to formal occasions and dates, but it's not a go-to for casual sports.

About

It bursts open with a vibrant, zesty hit of bergamot, grapefruit, and mandarin, sharply cut with invigorating mint and a potent ginger kick. As it settles, a warm, spicy heart emerges with cinnamon and clove, softened by subtle rose and ylang-ylang. The base anchors it with an interesting blend of vetiver, sandalwood, and a hint of leather, leaving a musky, slightly vanillic trail.
