Cumbawa Wood

Cumbawa Wood, released by Sensatio Paris in 2024 and created by Serge de Oliveira, is mostly woody, with a spicy layer and smaller fresh, floral, amber and citrus accents.

Cumbawa is another name for kaffir lime, which leads the opening with a sharp, aromatic and leafy citrus note, joined by lemon for extra brightness. Black pepper, pepper and ginger add a dry, tingling spice, and ozonic notes give an airy freshness. Ylang-ylang brings a touch of creamy floral sweetness in the middle. The base is woody and smooth: cashmere wood gives a soft, musky woodiness, vetiver an earthy, rooty dryness and patchouli an earthy depth, while amber adds a gentle warmth.

The profile suggests a versatile scent for spring through autumn, daytime and the office, as well as relaxed evenings. It is meant to be worn by anyone who likes fresh, peppery woods with a distinctive, slightly exotic citrus top, and it should appeal to people who want character without heaviness.
