Dry Woods

Dry woods are a class of woody fragrance notes that evoke the scent of dried, seasoned timber. They often have a warm, earthy, and slightly austere character, sometimes with hints of spice or smoke. These notes are commonly derived from woods like cedar, sandalwood, and agarwood.

Fragrances featuring dry wood notes tend to evoke a sense of warmth, stability, and sophistication. They can create a cocooning, comforting effect, making them well-suited for colder weather or evening wear. Dry woods also lend an air of mystery and depth to a fragrance, making the wearer feel grounded and confident.

Dry wood notes are commonly used as base notes in fragrances, providing a warm, grounding foundation. They are often paired with lighter, more aromatic top notes to create a balanced, sophisticated scent profile. Dry woods are found in a wide range of fragrance families, from woody chypres to oriental blends.
