Aroma of Timber For Men

Aroma of Timber opens juicy and bright: Italian bergamot and astringent Amalfi lemon underpinned by a clear, sheer red apple - the celebrated, crystalline opening of Creed's Spice and Wood (2010). The heart turns spicy and woody with clove, a soft rose, earthy patchouli and a striking birch, peppery and dry. The base settles into dry Virginia cedar, mossy oakmoss, powdery iris and clean musk, the woods and spices dominant. Perfume Parlour's interpretation captures Spice and Wood's elegant, comfortable apple-spice-woody character convincingly, but it reads a fraction flatter, that famous lucid apple note thinner and less realistic and the cedar-oakmoss base less rich than the niche original. Spice and Wood itself is only moderate on performance at 6 hours, and here longevity is similarly modest. The effect stays classy and grown-up - a fruity-spicy woody scent for autumn, cool spring and mild winter, worn casually, at the office, on dates or dressier occasions.
