Brand Introduction: The Collection consistently explores philosophical themes of human history and knowledge. The creation of Woods Symphony is a deep olfactory reflection on the contemporary phenomenon of "knowledge fragmentation." It uses strongly contrasting elements—such as the waxy metallic edge of Orris Root against the warm haze of Rum, and the rationality of Dry Wood against the primitive sensuality of Civet—to symbolize the conflict and fusion of traditional paper knowledge and modern digital information, seeking a new aesthetic order amidst the chaos.
Scent Analysis: The Minimalist Skeleton of Orris and the Luxury Drape of Wood
The opening of Woods Symphony is precise and striking. Orris Root, with its signature waxy and slightly metallic quality, instantly constructs a minimal, clean, even rationally cold space—the abstract olfactory depiction of the "binary world of black and white numbers." Immediately, the faint, warm liquor haze of Rum gently disperses within it, acting as a fleeting ray of humanity that prevents the scent from becoming overly detached, maintaining an intimate closeness to the skin.
The heart is a poetic structural shift. The earthy side of Orris Root transforms into a creamy powderiness (buttery orris), interweaving with the classical floral notes of Jasmine and Rose to present the "human sensibility." This floral phase is not sweet, but restrained, soft, and subtly dewy, like a gentle, soft-focus light illuminating the soft corners of the inner self within a concrete city. This measured handling of the florals demonstrates ultimate elegance and balance.
The drydown is a bold and profound dive. Dry Wood provides an unbreakable framework for the scent, while Oud and Civet offer a subtle, non-aggressive animalic aura. This is not a jarring "dirty" or "wild" scent, but a primitive sensuality that is warm and close to the skin, reminiscent of sun-warmed skin. It anchors the digital coolness and floral softness of the opening and heart notes onto a deep, dark wooden foundation, completing a perfect resonance from "rational composure" to "sensual skin."
Style & Aura
This fragrance is suited for those who seek inner order within a complex world.
Style Description: It embodies the essence of Quiet Luxury. The structure is clear, the materials are top-tier, but it is never loud. It suits those who wear structural tailoring, prefer low-saturation colors, but demand extreme attention to detail.
Aura Description: Confident, contemplative, and possessing a powerful sense of inner order. It is not meant to please the masses but to express a mature and intelligent personal taste. It wears like a philosopher, sitting quietly in a corner, yet the light of their thought illuminates the room. It displays the modern boldness of "winning without striving."
Pairing and Occasion Suggestions

- Suggested Occasions: Quiet reading time, high-quality work-from-home days, dinner with a close partner
- Outfit Pairing: Soft silk or linen shirts, relaxed leather loafers, simple metal accessories
- Scent Focus: The powdery smoothness of Orris and the warm, skin-close Civet make it an extremely private "skin scent." It is not a fragrance that projects aggressively, but an alluring whisper caught only when you lean in close
Performance: Longevity and Sillage
Longevity: The longevity of this fragrance is an absolute top performer. Thanks to its high 24% concentration and the solid base built by the Oud and Dry Woods in the drydown, you don't have to worry about it fading quickly. For me, it reliably accompanies me through over 8 hours of work and social engagement. Even before my evening shower, that warm, dry woody undertone still clings closely to the skin, feeling like a comfortable second skin. Its presence is enduring and trustworthy.
Sillage: The sillage of Woods Symphony perfectly embodies its philosophy of "Quiet Luxury." It is by no means an attention-grabbing scent, but rather falls within the Moderate to Intimate range. For the first 1–2 hours after application, it forms an elegant personal bubble, allowing those who come close to appreciate it without disrupting the surrounding environment. Afterward, the scent quietly retreats, becoming an extremely alluring whisper close to the skin. This is an expression full of wisdom and discretion; only those permitted into your intimate space will truly appreciate the buttery smoothness of the orris and the warmth of the wood.
