SCENTS OF WOOD IS A JOURNEY INTO THE MAGICAL MYSTERY OF FORESTS AND TREES.
Forests make us fall in love with nature and the universe.
They are an exploration of the senses and Shinrin Yoku, the brand’s Japanese name, is about capturing that feeling, that pull, that attraction. It loosely translates to “Forest Bathing”, a form of walking meditation amongst trees.
L’Âme du Bois, the brand’s French name, means “Soul of Wood”. An evocation of their unique creative process, the tree essences the perfumers select, the barrels in which they age their organic alcohol.
Scents of Wood, the brand’s English name, designates the final output of this labor of love.
Gourmand fragrances are inspired by delicious, dessert-like notes and the comforting warmth of familiar indulgences. They often blend vanilla, fruit, spice, caramel, chocolate, nuts, or creamy accords into scents that feel cozy, playful, decadent, or elegant. Sweet without always being simple, the best gourmands feel memorable, refined, and hard to resist.
