NFT2 (2023) • SCENTS OF WOOD🔺 • ScentAdvice

The second entry from the NFT subscription. Now, don’t let the aldehydes and rose fool you; to my nose, this is one of the more traditionally masculine leaning offerings from Scents of Wood, with vetiver and roasted popcorn being the main facets. Pyrazines give the scent a burnt, nutty and toasted quality that adds scents reminiscent of popcorn, coffee and an earthy woodiness.

While the vetiver feels more diffusive here, with a relatively green edge to it. Much more roasted and green than One Day Seoul, probably more roasted and gourmand-ish than Eight & Bob Nuit de Megeve and also more gourmand leaning than Superfumista Terra Moka. Those are all vetiver-coffee scents, whereas NFT2 really feels more like popcorn. The combination doesn’t always work for me and here, with the milkiness, the nutty burnt wafts and the greenness, I found it a bit of a chore to wear.
