Wanna smell like an old Stradivarius or a posh French table? Didn’t think so.
Rosewood is the known go to for fine furniture and violin makers for centuries. But it has a sexy secret side: its amazing aroma. By distilling its oil we get a sweet, delicate woody scent. Lovingly mix that with the light greens of mango and neroli and, following feedback from our wonderful ådventurer members the amazing addition of dear old mary jane (that’s marijuana to you – ask yer dad). It now takes on a whole new degree of intoxicating ethereal sophistication.
Just like a beautifully played Ravel violin concerto. Well kinda.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a scent for close quarters and low light, when you want something textured rather than loud. It suits a person who likes their presence to feel warm, a little enigmatic and distinctly natural, with the woody-green trail unfolding as people come nearer.
How to wear
Best in mild to cool weather, where its green woods and sweet fruit notes can breathe without turning heavy. Apply a moderate amount; it has above-average projection and longevity, so one or two sprays are enough to leave a polished woody aura that lingers on skin and in the air.
Who it’s for
For lovers of woody fragrances with a green, slightly fruity twist; for people who enjoy natural-smelling compositions with character, texture and a sensual edge. It will appeal to those who like rosewood, neroli and cannabis accords over clean citrus or heavy amber.
Release year
2023
The nose
Simon Constantine. Constantine is best known as the founder of ånd Fragrance and for a style that treats raw materials as the point of the composition rather than a decorative accent. His work for the house tends to spotlight a single natural idea, then build a fragrance around its texture, provenance and emotional character. For Bark, that approach is especially clear: the fragrance grew from his discovery of a sustainably sourced Brazilian rosewood, and the composition was shaped to emphasize the wood’s sweet, peppery, aromatic side rather than a conventional bark effect. The result fits his broader interest in sustainability, ingredient transparency and fragrances that feel materially specific.
Collaborators
The fragrance was shaped with input from ådventurer members, the brand community whose feedback helped steer the final composition toward its current balance of mango, neroli, rosewood and cannabis.
And Fragrance’s story
ånd Fragrance is built around sustainability, direct support for ingredient communities and a clear focus on natural materials. Rather than chasing trends, the house tends to isolate and amplify a chosen ingredient, letting its character lead the composition and the story behind it.
Bark’s concept
Bark was created after Simon Constantine found a sustainably farmed source of Brazilian rosewood, a material now protected in Brazil because of past over-harvesting. The fragrance was shaped to celebrate that wood’s unexpected sweetness and aromatic depth, then lifted with mango, neroli and a green cannabis accord for a more modern, slightly intoxicating edge.
Extra info
Bark was released in 2023 and is still in production. The fragrance centers on sustainably sourced Brazilian rosewood, and the brand notes that the cannabis effect comes from a non-psychoactive green accord rather than actual cannabis.
