Woody

Woody fragrances bring an earthy, grounded, and sophisticated edge to a woman’s scent wardrobe. Traditionally associated with masculine scents, the modern women’s woody category has evolved to include beautifully balanced compositions using sandalwood, cedar, patchouli, and vetiver. Sandalwood provides a creamy, milky warmth, while cedar offers a dry, pencil-shaving crispness that feels incredibly chic. These perfumes often have a “heart” of forest-like notes that provide incredible longevity on the skin. To make them more feminine, perfumers often blend woody bases with light floral tops or fruity accents, creating a “Chypre” or “Woody Floral” effect. This style is perfect for the woman who enjoys a bit of mystery and depth; it suggests a personality that is strong, independent, and deeply connected to nature. Woody scents are exceptionally reliable for office wear or professional settings where you want to project a sense of stability and calm elegance.
