Unique Wood

by Cyrill Rolland

Novellista Unique Wood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Cyrill Rolland. Unique Wood opens with Lavender, Geranium, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Violet Leaf, Pepper, and Sichuan Pepper, and dries down to a base of Amberwood, Tonka Bean, and Vanilla. Novellista's Unique Wood carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you, this is far from unique. It's a blatant Sauvage dupe, but if you're into that peppery, masculine vibe for less (or want a 'woodier' take), then crack on. Be warned: it's not for everyone, reviewers say there's something in the dry-down that might make you gag.

About

Unique Wood opens with a fresh, aromatic burst of lavender and geranium, sharpened by a fiery pink pepper kick. As it settles, a triple threat of peppers - violet leaf, black pepper, and Sichuan pepper - adds a warm, spicy core, giving it a modern, almost metallic edge. The dry down mellows into a comforting blend of rich amberwood, creamy tonka bean, and sweet vanilla, grounding the initial spice with a smooth, woody warmth.
