By the editors · 2 min readOriginal Wood opens with violet leaf — crisp, slightly bitter, and green rather than floral. That sharpness sets a cool, clean tone before cedar moves in to anchor the composition with its dry, pencil-shaving texture.
The cedar here reads stripped-back rather than lush, playing well against the violet leaf's aquatic-green edge. Amber and musk in the base soften the structure gradually, adding warmth without sweetness, nudging the whole thing toward skin temperature.
The result is a spare, linear woody-green scent — uncluttered and office-appropriate. It won't command a room, but it sits cleanly close to the wearer with a dependable, quiet persistence.
