Volatility of notes: why the fragrance changes on the skin
You spritzed your favorite perfume in the morning, but by evening your skin smells like a different ...
Wick Bois de Santal is a unisex eau de parfum from the woody fragrance family, created for those who appreciate expressive, warm and multifaceted compositions.
The fragrance combines the softness of sandalwood with an amber-balsamic accord, spicy nuances and rich woody accords.
The fragrance was launched by Wick, a young niche brand born in South Africa in 2021.
The brand's DNA reflects South African freshness, a bold approach to perfumery and a desire to create fragrances with a distinct emotional presence.
The available data for Wick Bois de Santal does not distinguish separate top, heart and base notes, so the composition is best understood as a unified olfactory accord.
Its central motif is sandalwood — creamy, smooth and enveloping, with a characteristic warm woody texture.
Oud, amber and benzoin accompany it, adding depth, resinous character and a dense oriental nuance to the fragrance.
Cumin and fenugreek create a spicy contrast, while rose, jasmine and ylang-ylang soften the intensity with floral nuances.
As a result, Bois de Santal comes across not as a monotonous woody fragrance, but as a rich composition with spicy-floral dimension.
Wick Bois de Santal is released as an eau de parfum.
According to the available information, the fragrance has very strong sillage, so a moderate application is recommended: a few sprays on the skin are enough for the composition to remain noticeable and long-lasting.
The exact number of applications to the skin and clothing is not specified, so it is best to start with a small amount and assess its development in the given conditions.
Its unisex positioning makes the fragrance suitable for both women and men, especially those who enjoy warm woody, amber, balsamic and spicy compositions.
It can be an expressive choice for evenings, cool weather and occasions when you want to emphasize your individuality with a rich, distinctive trail.
On clothing, the fragrance will likely smell denser and last longer, so application to fabric should be carefully dosed.
In terms of its overall direction, Wick Bois de Santal can be considered alongside Tom Ford Reserve collection Arabian Wood as an option for exploring rich woody and oriental accents.
At the same time, Wick focuses on the contrast between sandalwood softness, spicy nuances, florals and deep oud, allowing the fragrance to retain its distinctive character.
Other concentrations of this fragrance and the perfumer's name are not specified in the available data.
However, its composition already makes it clear that Bois de Santal is intended for admirers of expressive perfumery with powerful sillage, warm skin-like facets and a vivid woody foundation.
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 composition of Wick Bois de Santal features amber, benzoin, cumin, fenugreek, jasmine, oud, rose, sandalwood, and ylang-ylang.
Sandalwood forms a soft woody core, while oud enhances the depth and richness of the scent. Amber and benzoin add warm, resinous balsamic nuances.
Cumin and fenugreek lend a spicy character, making the fragrance more expressive and unconventional. Rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang soften the dense woody base with floral and white-floral nuances.
The individual distribution of notes across the top, middle, and base levels is not specified for this fragrance, so the composition should be perceived as a cohesive, multilayered accord.
