Scents Of Wood - Vanilla in Armagnac

Vanilla in Armagnac by Scents of Wood, crafted by Natasha Côté (also behind Praline in Maple, Oud in Calvados, and Vetiver in Bloom), was born from a clear and inspired customer request: a fluffy woody scent, reminiscent of a dessert.

Inspired by the delicate French tradition of Bûches de Noël—those light, meringue-filled vanilla iced cakes—Natasha set out to create a fragrance that captures that airy, frothy sweetness. The choice to incorporate Armagnac barrel was natural, adding an earthy, aromatic depth that complements the bright vanilla.

Vanilla in Armagnac is a luminous, sparkling cedar and vanilla fragrance, lighter and fizzier than its sibling Vanilla in Bourbon (which is richer and more boozy). From the first spritz to the dry-down, it delights with a fresh yet warm character — a true celebration of vanilla’s airy elegance wrapped in subtle woody warmth.

Fragrance notes: Cocoa Shell, Lemon, Bitter orange, Sandalwood, Vanilla CO2 extract, Cocoa Absolute.
