Scents of Wood Bread in Chestnut is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Meabh McCurtin. Scents of Wood's Bread in Chestnut carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A divisive one, this. For some, it's a beautifully balanced woody gourmand that evokes warmth and cosiness. For others, it's a fleeting skin scent that misses the mark on its namesake notes. Definitely try before you buy.

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.

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its soft, comforting notes, make it excellent for casual wear or the office. However, some find its projection too light for formal events, and it's certainly not built for sport.

About

Bread in Chestnut opens with an aromatic whisper of rosemary and a subtle hint of cardamom, before quickly settling into its heart: a soft, almost ethereal accord of wheat and toasted chestnut. The dry down is a comforting embrace of creamy sandalwood and sweet tonka bean, underscored by a touch of resinous frankincense and earthy patchouli, creating a delicate, woody-gourmand experience.
