What it smells like
Notes
Splendid Wood by Yves Saint Laurent is a captivating fragrance featuring woody, smoky accords. It opens with Cardamom, transitions to a heart of Cedar, and settles into a base of Incense, Cypress. A timeless creation for the modern connoisseur.
Scent story
To me it smells like a cedar forest temple where someone has just lit incense and walked away. Cardamom opens it — cool, aromatic, contemplative — and then cedar takes over, dry and noble and endless, with cypress green at the edges. Incense smoke rises through it all, quiet and grey and meditative. It is austere in the way a monastery is austere: beautiful, but it asks something of you. A scent for solitude and clear thinking. Not for beginners — it's smoky and austere. Test it first.
