Scents of Wood Praline in Maple Vintage 25 Eau de Parfum

Praline in Maple Vintage 25 is the evolution of one of Scents of Wood’s most beloved fragrances. Shaped by a new barrel with the same rare history of oak, bourbon, and maple syrup, this vintage reveals a deeper, more animalic side of the original. The sweetness remains but is quieter now, tempered by stronger cedarwood, smoky resinous warmth, and a darker, more sensual base. Same fragrance. More profound.

The original Praline in Maple was born from a rare American oak barrel that first aged bourbon for eight years before being used in Canada to mature maple syrup, absorbing both spirit and sweetness along the way. When Scents of Wood acquired that barrel and aged their organic alcohol within it, the result was a fragrance defined by indulgent warmth, candied woods, and addictive maple richness. As Praline in Maple became one of their best sellers and most celebrated gourmand, the barrel was used at a pace that made its eventual exhaustion inevitable.

This new vintage reveals a deeper, more animalic side of Praline in Maple. The presence of opoponax resin becomes more pronounced, introducing a resinous warmth that feels leathery and slightly smoky, even without a leather note in the formula. This shift tempers the sweetness, moving the fragrance away from overt gourmand territory and toward something darker and more sensual. Cedarwood emerges with greater strength, adding structure, dryness, and a grounded woody backbone that anchors the composition. Spices like pink pepper, cumin seed, and cardamom add gentle tension at the opening, while smoky maple wood, Peru balsam, Indonesian patchouli, and sandalwood deepen the base with balsamic richness and lingering warmth. The result is a fragrance that feels more mature, more textured, and more enduring, with a stronger foundation and a quieter sweetness.

This is Praline in Maple reimagined. Less playful, more profound. A gourmand shaped by time, wood, and evolution.
