Scents of Wood Plum in Cognac is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Pascal Gaurin. Plum in Cognac settles into a heart of Immortelle, Osmanthus, Cinnamon, and Plum, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Vanilla, Labdanum, and Peru Balsam. Scents of Wood's Plum in Cognac carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Plum in Cognac is a boozy, spicy plum that's surprisingly divisive. While many rave about its luxurious warmth and complexity, some find it too fleeting, too woody, or just a bit too much like cough syrup. Worth sampling to see if it works with your chemistry.

About

Imagine perfectly ripe, dark plums stewed with warm cinnamon and vanilla, then doused in rich, golden rum. This boozy, fruity concoction settles into a plush, sweet amber base, underscored by earthy vetiver and balsamic depth, with whispers of leathery labdanum and immortelle. It's thick, syrupy, and undeniably opulent.
