Mischief Academy Pinocchio is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Anh Ngo. Pinocchio settles into a heart of Cedar, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Palo Santo. Mischief Academy's Pinocchio carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A divisive woody scent, Pinocchio nails the 'fresh-cut wood' concept brilliantly for some, but others will be turned off by an unfortunate pickle-like note. If you're a woody fragrance fan, it's worth a sniff - but test on skin first.

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.

With moderate sillage and longevity, this refined woody scent is versatile. It's subtle enough for office wear but lacks the bold presence often desired for formal occasions or the freshness for sport.

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

Imagine the inside of a master carpenter's workshop - that's the core of Pinocchio. It opens with a sophisticated blend of cedar and sandalwood, giving a smooth, polished woodiness, subtly spiced by saffron. As it settles, vetiver adds an earthy dimension, while palo santo lends a touch of aromatic warmth. A delicate, non-sweet peach skin note smooths the edges, making the overall woodiness feel less raw and more refined. It's truly a sophisticated take on a predominantly woody profile.
