Kilian Sacred Wood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Calice Becker. Sacred Wood settles into a heart of Caraway, Amyris, Amber, and Cedar, and dries down to a base of Milk, Myrrh, Incense, and Copaiba Balm. Kilian's Sacred Wood carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a proper mood-setter. It's a clean, pure sandalwood that divides opinion - some get pickles, some get perfection. But for those who get it, it's a creamy, sophisticated woodsy dream. Just forget the price for a minute, yeah?

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.

Also Works:
Formal

Despite its luxurious feel, Sacred Wood's often noted as a subtle skin scent with moderate projection, making it suitable for casual wear and the office. It's refined enough for dates and some formal events, but its understated nature might not make a big impression for very high-stakes occasions. The woody, lactonic accords lend themselves more to everyday elegance than energetic activities.

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

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

Sacred Wood opens with an elegant, almost spiritual blend of caraway and amyris, quickly melting into a heart of smooth, creamy sandalwood kissed with a lactonic warmth. It's grounded by a deep, resonant base of Mysore sandalwood, cedar, and incense, softened by balsamic elemi and myrrh. The overall effect is a clean, dry woody scent, subtly spiced and utterly refined.
