Wearing Hwyl places cedar and sandalwood at the centre of a dry, aromatic profile. The woods are met with cardamom and bergamot, which lend a warm spicy character to the composition. This combination of materials defines the house. The scents are built on aromatic and woody foundations that carry a warm spicy thread throughout.
Cedar and sandalwood appear consistently across the range, often joined by bergamot and cardamom. Fresh spicy and powdery facets turn up alongside the dominant woods, while amber notes add depth to certain compositions. The materials create a feeling that is grounded and dry rather than sweet or effusive. The overall impression is one of steady, unisex compositions where wood and spice are balanced by citrus and subtle powdery accents.
