Collection: Scents of Wood

Scents of Wood dared to ask a surprisingly unasked question: what would happen if the alcohol wasn’t an invisible part of the composition of a fragrance, but instead became one more ingredient in the perfumer’s palette? They started collecting wooden barrels whenever they came across them. From Scotland to Kentucky to Cognac. Vintage barrels that had given life to spirits many times over, and new barrels that had yet to age anything, but whose wood had already lived a lifetime in a forest somewhere. They aged organic cane alcohol in those barrels and compared the effects. The impact of the barrels on the alcohol itself was rich, deep, and intriguing. Adding the aged alcohol to scents created a similarly intriguing effect. And so, it didn’t take long to find excited, and world renowned, perfumers eager to explore the new way Scents of Wood had found to formulate scents.

Santal Umeshu by Scents of Wood is a Fumerie Parfumerie exclusive fragrance.
