The English Oak Collection is created through of washed oak wood chips that are roasted at high temperature that hints a smokey-sweet scent. The ingredients are what makes the line of perfume stand out. The English Oak and Hazelnut is a mixture of hazelnuts with cedar wood, English oak, and amber to name a few.
The English Oak & Redcurrant, on the other hand, is bold and fresh. It contains rhubarb white musk and red currant, again to name some.
If you’re wondering what’s the Filipino twist? It’s none other than elemi or pili nut to the locals. They’ve added some in to spice up their English Oak collection. Who knew pili nut could be so fragrant?
The English Oak collection will be available in stores starting September 2017.
