Woods

Woods are a diverse family of fragrance notes derived from the aromatic compounds found in various tree species. They often convey a warm, earthy, and sometimes smoky character, with nuances ranging from dry and austere to rich and creamy. Common sources include sandalwood, cedar, vetiver, and agarwood.

Woody fragrances evoke a sense of warmth, comfort, and sophistication. They can create a feeling of grounding and stability, making the wearer feel confident and at ease. Woody notes work well in both casual and formal settings, and can be enjoyed year-round, though they are particularly suitable for cooler weather and evening wear.

Woody notes are commonly used as base notes in fragrances, providing depth, longevity, and a sense of sophistication. They are often blended with citrus, floral, or spicy accords to create complex, well-rounded scent profiles. Woods are particularly prevalent in men's fragrances, but also feature prominently in many unisex and even some women's perfumes.
