What is a woody fragrance?
In woody fragrances the base takes centre stage. Sandalwood brings creaminess, cedar a dry, pencil-shaving clarity, vetiver an earthy, rooty freshness and guaiac wood a gentle smokiness. Oud adds depth and a darker, resinous character. Woody scents are among the most versatile and are worn by everyone.
Notes you will often find
Woods, sandalwood, cedar, vetiver, guaiac wood, oud and patchouli.
When to wear it
Light cedar and vetiver blends work all year and at the office; creamy sandalwood and oud-heavy compositions feel cosy in colder months. For darker, smokier woods, see Leather & Smoky.
