Dry Wood

Dry wood is a fragrance note characterized by its warm, earthy, and slightly smoky aroma with subtle hints of resin and spice. Its scent profile is rich and grounding, evoking the essence of sun-dried wood and forest landscapes. Dry wood adds depth and a natural, sophisticated quality to perfumes, often used as a base note to create a long-lasting, warm foundation. It pairs well with florals, spices, and resins, contributing to complex and elegant compositions that exude warmth and refinement.

History & Production: Dry wood notes in perfumery are often created using natural extracts from woods such as cedarwood, sandalwood, or oak, or through synthetic accords that mimic the dry, woody scent. These notes have been cherished in traditional and modern perfumery for their ability to add depth and longevity. The warm and slightly resinous characteristics of dry wood evoke timeless elegance and a connection to nature, making it a popular choice in crafting both classic and contemporary fragrances. Synthetic dry wood molecules, such as Iso E Super, are also used to create nuanced and long-lasting wood accords that enhance the overall composition of a perfume.
