Wonderwood

Description

Wonderwood has a sweet, classical construction. You breathe in notes of sandalwood, cedar and patchouli as well as other, more velvety ones, like cashmeran, with its balmier, more resinous accents. The scent also boasts notes of: cypress, oud wood (a.k.a. agarwood), gaiac wood (a.k.a. saintwood), vetiver, javanol (‘the new generation of sandalwood’), pachminol (an ingredient with ‘notes of sandalwood, plus hints of balsam and rose’). The woods have been slightly sharpened with spicy notes of pepper, frankincense, caraway and nutmeg. Bergamot and cristalon (a ‘floral-fruity molecule with nuances of rose, plum and apple’) bring a touch of freshness. For him or her.
