DUA Fragrances - Wood & Cognac

Wood and Cognac.  The two words together bring to mind a pensive gentleman in his study.  The image is old world.  It’s an image of cultured elegance.

With Wood & Cognac, DUA Fragrances brings us a refined woody fragrance.  The opening is a complex, deep, boozy wood.  As you breathe in, the wood panels of the study come alive.  There is a light, green rose that drifts through the composition intricately mingled with the wood and cognac.  As this fragrance wears, it takes on additional complexity; a touch of dark cocoa, a warm creamy sandalwood – all the while the boozy wood remains in the forefront.  The perfumer gives us additional notes to create interest and complexity with this fragrance, but at no point do they surpass the boozy woody notes.  Wood & Cognac is about its namesake throughout the wear. 

Wood & Cognac wears on me for roughly 11 hours with heavy moving to moderate projection.

NOTES: Cognac, Chestnut, Geranium, Tonka Bean, Cacao, Sandalwood, and Agarwood (Oud)

Perfumer: Mahsam Raza
