Barnaby Black Ancient Wood is a fresh, green woody scent that sets the resinous coolness of juniper and cypress against the dry depth of leather and cedar, worn by anyone.

What does Ancient Wood smell like?

The scent reads as one piece, led by juniper. Utah juniper, alligator juniper and Californian juniper leaf give it a green, lightly spicy forest air, while Nootka cypress and cedar hold that air in a woody frame. Bristlecone pine resin adds a resinous warmth and leather brings a dry, leathery edge. Tonic water lends a citrusy, crisp sparkle that softens the heavier woods. It suits those who like green, woody, resinous fragrances. Bottega Veneta pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) and Première Note Cedar Atlas have a close profile.
