Woods

Woods are a versatile and grounding fragrance note with a warm, earthy scent profile that carries subtle resinous, smoky, and slightly sweet undertones. Their aroma is rich, natural, and elegant, adding depth and sophistication to perfumes. Woods impart a smooth, robust character and are often used as base notes to create longevity and complexity in fragrance compositions. They pair beautifully with floral, citrus, and spicy notes, contributing to fragrances that are timeless, refined, and full of natural charm.

History & Production: Woods in perfumery encompass a variety of materials, including cedarwood, sandalwood, and guaiac wood, sourced from trees native to regions around the world. Their essential oils are extracted through methods such as steam distillation or cold pressing, while some wood accords are recreated synthetically to achieve specific olfactory effects. Woods are prized for their ability to add a rich, grounding depth that enhances the warmth and sophistication of fragrances, evoking a sense of nature’s enduring beauty and strength.
