The world first encountered Winter Oak by Raw Spirit in 2014. A unisex fragrance belonging to the spicy and wood families. Conceived and brought to life by perfumer Harry Fremont. Available as eau de parfum.
Brand country — Australia, with its deep-rooted relationship with the fragrance industry. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The note pyramid of Winter Oak evolves as an expressive line of development, where notes flow with precision and warmth. The style of Raw Spirit is evident in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Nothing here feels random, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum emphasizes the depth and body this composition needs.
In the top tier you detect radiant lemon-bergamot top notes: Bergamot, Black Pepper, Clary Sage and Geranium. These 4 notes set sunny vitality that gives the fragrance a clear opening statement.
When the opening settles you notice Clove, Frankincense, Mate and Saffron carrying a cinnamon-nutmeg direction.
The internal accord map is driven by these accords: Balsamic, Aromatic, Citrus and Floral with each one in a clear role. Additional accords such as Musc, Wood, Leather and Spicy expand the olfactory volume in the background.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Citrus, Spicy, Aromatic and Floral. The framework further includes Balsamic, Green, Wood and Earthy / Mossy.
In summary Winter Oak reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the heart develops the core line, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the scent structures best understood in wear.
