Electric Wood Extrait
Designed by perfumer Jérôme di Marino for Room 1015's 10th anniversary, Electric Wood Extrait upgrades the brand's debut concept into a high-concentration unisex formula. The fragrance pairs a vibrant nutmeg top note with an earthy oakmoss heart, resting on a heavy base of sweet vanilla. Rather than smelling like raw lumber, it settles into a cozy aura of charred cedar, warm spices, and molten caramel. This perfume appeals to fans of warm, smoky gourmands looking for substantial longevity during winter evening outings or casual leather-jacket occasions. It offers a bolder alternative to classic autumn scents, surrounding the wearer in a dense, comforting cloud.

Electric Wood Extrait features a dark woody spicy profile built around three key notes: dry nutmeg, earthy oakmoss, and sweet vanilla. The fragrance texture evolves from a crisp, prickly opening into a smooth, resinous heart before drying down into a creamy, smoky finish that smells like toasted wood drizzled in warm caramel.
Main Accords
5 MAPPEDThe primary vanilla accord dominates the composition with a thick, caramel-tinged sweetness.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Room 1015 Electric Wood Extrait Review: Charred Wood and Caramel Vanilla”
Electric Wood Extrait opens on skin with an immediate pop of dry nutmeg spice paired with a fleeting metallic fizz. Room 1015 designed this Extrait concentration to honor their original release, but the initial spray feels far richer than before. Rather than smelling like raw lumber or freshly cut sawdust, the opening note of nutmeg warms rapidly over a dark, resinous backdrop. It feels lively and slightly sharp during the first ten minutes, cutting through cold air with a prickly aromatic spark.
As the sharp nutmeg top subsides, the heart settles into a damp oakmoss structure that anchors the composition. The oakmoss brings an earthy, shadowy green texture that keeps the fragrance grounded in classic woodiness. Soon after, a thick vanilla accord simmers beneath the surface. It shifts the profile away from harsh forest floor territory and toward a warm, toasted gourmand character. You get the distinct sensation of scorched wood drizzled with rich caramel syrup.
On skin, the interaction between mossy earthiness and heavy vanilla creates a fascinating tension. The fresh spicy accord pops early on, but the sweet vanilla eventually takes complete control of the scent bubble. If there is a mild critique here, it is that the dry oakmoss gets slightly swallowed by the intense sweetness after three hours. Buyers hoping for a dry, astringent amplifier wood fragrance might find the caramel-like vanilla dominant over the earthy moss base.
Performance is where this extrait concentration truly shines. Electric Wood Extrait projects strongly for three hours before it gradually hugs the skin, maintaining a persistent scent trail for ten hours overall. It lingers effortlessly on wool coats and scarves until the next day. Cold autumn evenings and freezing winter nights provide the ideal climate for this scent, while crisp outdoor strolls allow the nutmeg and vanilla trail to breathe properly.
This unisex perfume targets fragrance enthusiasts who enjoy dark, smoky vanilla scents with a rustic edge. Fans of Maison Margiela By the Fireplace will find a familiar DNA here, though Electric Wood Extrait trades chestnut for a punchier nutmeg opening and a deeper oakmoss backing. It fits casual leather jacket wearers, nighttime coffee dates, and cozy fireside gatherings equally well.
Room 1015 delivers a compelling, long-lasting rework of their debut concept with Electric Wood Extrait. The combination of nutmeg, oakmoss, and vanilla strikes a cozy balance between earthy raw woodiness and warm gourmand indulgence. While the pronounced caramel sweetness may prove too rich for warm spring weather, it stands as a solid contender for anyone seeking a durable winter signature.
