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 Summer Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its dominant amber, woody, and animalic accords, Alwouod is too potent for casual or office wear. It's best reserved for evening dates or formal events where its richness can truly be appreciated.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Alwouod opens with a complex, slightly bitter aromatic kick from artemisia and davana, immediately hinting at something rich and unconventional. This quickly gives way to a velvety rose, embraced by the earthy, almost medicinal warmth of real oud and patchouli. A subtle cumin note adds an intriguing, animalic depth, while a rich amber, musky castoreum, and smoky incense in the base provide a luxurious, long-lasting trail. It's a journey through dark woods and ancient resins.
