Wood and Mood Absolute is a masterpiece of atmospheric perfumery. It doesn't just smell like wood,it transports you. The moment it hits your skin, you are plunged into the most photorealistic forest imaginable, but this isn't just any forest. It's sophisticated, serene, and gentlemanly, like walking a solitary path through a sun-dappled grove of ancient, majestic trees.
Then comes the oud.
This is where the magic deepens. The oud note has incredible depth and darkness, like the shadowy spaces between the trees or the rich, decaying earth beneath the roots. But crucially, it's not harsh. It's not the medicinal, challenging oud that can overwhelm. Here, it's smooth, resinous, and perfectly blended, adding a layer of mysterious complexity to the creamy sandalwood and smooth cedar without ever becoming aggressive.
The overall effect is breathtaking: the serene, elegant beauty of the forest, grounded by a dark, soulful heart. It’s calming yet intriguing, sophisticated yet primal. An absolute triumph.
