Scents of Wood 2020 EDP
Plum in Cognac
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 sweet-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.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Best Occasions
Its rich, boozy, and sweet profile, combined with generally moderate to strong projection, makes it less suitable for office or casual daytime wear. It excels in intimate date settings or evening formal events where its luxurious depth can shine, particularly in colder weather.
