Wood by Maissa Pure Oil
Fragrance notes
Wood by Maïssa Parfums opens with a cool snap of mint and pink pepper that cuts through the orange brightness immediately. Artemisia brings a bitter, green edge that keeps the citrus from feeling sunny or cheerful. The heart shifts toward frankincense and orris, where the smoke is dry and the iris leans powdery rather than rooty. Ambroxan and cistus incanus anchor the base with a resinous weight that feels warm against the skin, while vanilla rounds the edges without making the blend sweet. It sits in a space between aromatic herb garden and amber temple, never fully committing to either. The texture is smooth and slightly musky, with the green top notes lingering just long enough to prevent the base from feeling heavy. It suits someone who wants resin and herb in equal measure, though anyone expecting a dry wood alone will find the vanilla and powder too present. The mint never quite disappears, it just moves closer to the incense until the two are inseparable and the orange is only a memory that surfaces when you press your nose to the fabric
