Woody perfumes

What makes woody scents special?

Woody fragrances usually reveal their strength in the base notes. Here, warm woody notes combine with aromatic herbs, fresh citrus accents, or floral nuances. This creates compositions that are both calming and invigorating. Typical examples include:

• Cedarwood perfume – clear, dry, elegant
• Sandalwood – creamy, warm and slightly sweet
• Vetiver – earthy, fresh and slightly smoky
• Patchouli – intense, deep and mysterious

Who are woody perfumes suitable for?

The appeal of the woody fragrance family lies in its versatility:

• Woody men's fragrances often appear powerful, masculine and confident.
• Woody fragrances for women show a warm, elegant side, often in combination with floral accents, as in floral woody fragrances for women.
• Chypre perfume for women combines woody and mossy notes with citrus or floral essences for a classic, elegant fragrance character.

When is a woody scent appropriate?

Woody perfumes are perfect for autumn and winter, as they provide warmth and depth. In lighter forms—for example, with citrus or herbs—they're also suitable for spring and summer. They're the right choice for:

• Special occasions
• Business meetings
• Evenings when you want to show your presence
