Electric Wood
Room 1015 built Electric Wood for fragrance lovers who want a woody scent without heavy vanilla or dark smoke. It suits artists, musicians, and office workers looking for a quiet, distinct signature scent that stays close to sweater sleeves. The interplay of dry oak, warm resins, and cool iris makes it an easy pick for crisp spring afternoons, cool rain, or casual evening gatherings. Instead of projecting across a crowded room, it forms a soft woodshaving aura around the neck, appealing equally to men and women who prefer understated, dry woody profiles.

Performance is dependable, lasting 6 to 8 hours on skin and up to 10 hours on clothing. Sillage projects about arm's length during the first two hours before settling into an intimate skin aura. It performs best during fall and spring in temperatures under 70 degrees, where cool air keeps the wood notes crisp.
Notes Pyramid
Search these notesChoose where each note belongs.
Electric Wood presents a dry, textured blend dominated by cedar, oak, and ambroxan. Soft iris powder blankets the mid-notes, while warm resins and nutmeg add a slight papery warmth. The texture is dry, dusty, and clean, reminiscent of guitar varnish and freshly planed timber rather than rich pine sap.
Main Accords
6 MAPPEDThe dominant woody accord starts sharp and synthetic with ambroxan and raw cedar, but settles down as oak wood emerges. Over two hours, amber and musky undertones warm up on the skin, allowing iris to transform the dry timber into a smooth, powdery skin scent that lingers quietly without turning soapy.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Room 1015 Electric Wood Review Sawdust Resins and Iris”
Electric Wood opens with an energetic blast of dry cedar and radiant ambroxan. During the first ten minutes, the alcohol push can feel sharp, nearly metallic, recalling freshly cut timber in a dusty workshop or the inside of a vintage guitar case. It avoids any citrus brightness or juicy fruit, stepping straight into raw lumber. If you expect a soft opening, this initial blast might startle you, but the scratchy edge settles quickly on warm skin.
As the opening quietens, the heart reveals sturdy oak wood supported by warm resins. The texture turns from coarse woodshavings into something smoother and slightly sweet. Nutmeg enters slowly, adding a dry spice prickle rather than culinary heat. Meanwhile, iris creeps in from the base, coating the heavy timber notes in a thin layer of grey powder. The transition feels natural, softening the hard wooden edges without turning the scent into a heavy gourmand.
On skin, the accord structure behaves with surprising restraint. The dominant woody element stays front and center for hours, but the amber and musky facets underneath keep it comfortable. Rather than smelling like an outdoor pine forest, Electric Wood smells indoors, like dry oak furniture, paper, and polished varnish. My minor gripe is that the resins stay a bit too polite. A heavier dose of balsam could have given the mid-phase more dramatic grip, but the lighter touch keeps it versatile.
In terms of performance, Electric Wood delivers 6 to 8 hours of continuous wear. Projection peaks at arm's length for the first ninety minutes before pulling close to form an intimate bubble. This moderate strength makes it ideal for office wear, crisp autumn mornings, and indoor gatherings. It shines best in temperatures between 45 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit, where cool air keeps the powdery iris crisp rather than dense.
This fragrance leans neatly down the middle, making it equally attractive for men and women. Enthusiasts who dislike sweet vanilla, heavy oud, or loud marine notes will appreciate its dry, quiet architecture. If you collect woody perfumes like Santal 33 or Tam Dao but want something with a distinctive papery iris finish, this fits easily into a daily rotation.
Electric Wood succeeds because it delivers on its concept without trying to overpower everyone in the room. The blend of cedar, oak, resin, and iris feels polished, comfortable, and easy to wear across seasons. While the opening minute is a bit rough, the dry down makes it a great daily option. Grab a sample first if you dislike iris powder, but wood lovers can buy with confidence.
