Sacred Wood
Sacred Wood by Kilian is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with ambrette seed and carrot seed, moves into amyris and sandalwood and dries down to copaiba balsam and myrrh. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Ambrette Seed The only natural musk. Pear-like, warm and slightly boozy.
- Carrot Seed Earthy, rooty and oddly powdery. Often used to echo iris.
Heart
- Amyris Soft, sweet, sandalwood-adjacent. Often stands in for the real thing.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
Dry-down
- Copaiba Balsam A soft, woody Amazonian resin. Smooth, slightly peppery and long-lasting.
- Myrrh Bitter, smoky resin. Ancient-smelling and slightly cool.
