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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it suitable for office wear without being overpowering. The unique woody-fruity profile leans more casual, though its subtle allure could work for a relaxed date. It's too unconventional for formal events and entirely unsuitable for sport.

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.

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

Buddha-Wood opens with an intriguing boozy, almost wine-like quality, hinting at dried fruits or dark berries rather than traditional alcohol. This unusual start soon settles into a distinct woody core, predominantly featuring the smoky, parched sweetness of Buddha wood and the creamy depth of Australian sandalwood. Hints of strawberry or sweet leather weave through, creating a peculiar yet often captivating aroma that lingers as a soft, close-to-skin woodiness.
