Fragrance information:
SKLVA [wood iris] — a woody unisex fragrance
SKLVA [wood iris] is an eau de toilette by the Ukrainian brand SKLVA, released in 2017.
This unisex perfume is for those who appreciate expressive woody compositions with a cool natural facet, soft iris powderiness and the delicate gourmand warmth of vanilla.
The name wood iris perfectly conveys the fragrance's mood: woody accords meet iris here, creating a restrained yet noticeable impression.
The composition belongs to the woody family, while its character is complemented by balsamic, floral, gourmand and musky nuances.
The fragrance pyramid and character
At the heart of the composition is a contrast between dry woodiness and cool floral powderiness.
Iris lends the fragrance an elegant texture, while cedarwood and coniferous nuances make it composed, clean and slightly resinous.
As the fragrance unfolds, cedarwood, rosewood, sandalwood and thuja create a dense woody canvas.
Vanilla softens the austere facets, while musk adds smoothness and a warm, skin-like quality to the trail, keeping the fragrance from seeming overly dry.
How SKLVA [wood iris] unfolds
On the skin, SKLVA [wood iris] comes across as a rich woody-iris composition with a coniferous accent.
At first, the sensation of fresh wood and green, resinous air is especially noticeable, followed by a softer, powdery iris nuance.
The final stage becomes warmer and rounder: sandalwood, vanilla and musk temper the sharpness of cedarwood while preserving the distinctive woody framework.
This is a fragrance with character — neither sweet nor overtly floral, but rather calm, deep and composed.
Longevity, sillage and wearability
According to its stated classification, SKLVA [wood iris] has a very strong sillage, so it should be applied carefully, starting with a small number of sprays.
Precise recommendations for application to skin and clothing are not provided in the database; it is best to adjust the intensity according to the temperature, fabric and your personal sensitivity to perfume.
Thanks to its unisex positioning, the fragrance suits both women and men.
It is especially harmonious in cool weather, with an urban casual style, during a walk or in the evening, when the woody and musky notes unfold most expressively.
The perfumer and the brand's style
The composition was created by Ukrainian perfumer Anna Sokolova.
In SKLVA [wood iris], her approach is expressed through the use of textured woody nuances: familiar notes do not sound flat, but multilayered, combining the dryness of cedarwood, the green coolness of conifers, the powderiness of iris and the softness of vanilla.
For SKLVA, this release is an interesting example of modern Ukrainian perfumery, in which natural motifs receive an expressive, urban interpretation.
The fragrance does not try to please through obvious sweetness; it leaves room for personal interpretation and may smell different on different skin types.
