Scents of Wood Santal Umeshu is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Céline Barel. Scents of Wood's Santal Umeshu carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Santal Umeshu is sandalwood with a boozy plum-wine twist, lifted by ginger and mandarin. It is warm, creamy and a little unusual, in a good way. If sandalwood usually feels too plain for you, the fruit and spice here fix that.

Scent Profile

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

One combined note list is given. Sandalwood is the core, smooth and creamy, with vanilla adding sweetness. Plum wine brings a ripe, slightly boozy fruitiness, and ginger, caraway and mandarin add spice and brightness. Ambrette, violet leaf and davana round it out with musky, green and fruity touches, and CO2 extracts are listed too. The overall feel is a warm, fruity sandalwood with a gentle spicy lift.
