Woody Fragrances
ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
Woody fragrances are defined by their deep, earthy, and warm character, often evoking the grounding essence of forests and natural landscapes. This family is built around notes like cedarwood, sandalwood, patchouli, and vetiver, with synthetic additions such as Iso E Super enhancing their longevity and velvety texture.
These fragrances predominantly occupy the base of the olfactory pyramid, providing structure and a lasting impression. For example, Black Earth emphasizes the raw, earthy facets of patchouli and vetiver, while Oakmoss & Amber balances woody depth with balsamic sweetness. Cedarwood and Forest Fir highlight the clean, resinous qualities of evergreen trees, creating a fresh yet robust aroma.
Historically, woody notes have been central to perfumery, often used in traditional incense and ceremonial scents. Modern interpretations, like Oud Wood and Arabian Sandalwood, draw on exotic and luxurious woods, adding a smoky or creamy richness that enhances their complexity.
Woody fragrances are versatile and timeless, perfect for creating a cozy, grounded atmosphere or adding a touch of sophistication to any setting. Their natural warmth makes them particularly well-suited for cooler seasons or moments of introspection and relaxation.
