Dark As Wood

Eau de Parfum · Unisex

An oriental woody fragrance for men and women. This unisex smell is carefully made for anyone who wants a warm, delicious scent without spending a lot of money. It has a thick, woody scent from the East and a sweet, balsamic scent that reminds me of smoky incense and gentle floral powder mixed with resinous depth.

About this fragrance

The adventure starts with a beautiful triad of pink pepper, incense, and iris. The pink pepper adds a crisp, peppery touch, while the incense adds a smoky, almost magical feel. Iris adds a gentle, powdery flowery note to the end, which makes the opening sound more sophisticated and balanced. This is a strong but elegant initial impression that will appeal to people who like complicated scents.

Guaiac wood gives the heart a deep, almost leathery woodiness, which is soothed by the delicate, smooth smell of benzoin resin. Coriander adds a green, herbal note that makes the core seem warm and resinous, like it's both grounded and foreign. Perfect for fall or evening attire, especially for people in the UK who want something big and fancy.

The scent dries down to a deep foundation of patchouli, copahu balm, and white musk. The patchouli offers an earthy depth, while the copahu balm gives a creamy, somewhat spicy warmth. The musk gives the scent a clean, sexy finish that makes it stick around long after you've left the room.

  • High-quality resinous and woody ingredients
  • Excellent performance for formal occasions
  • A standout alternative to designer woody-oriental perfumes
