Woody Spices
Woody Spices combine the earthy depth of woods with the exotic warmth of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. This note brings a dynamic, bold touch to fragrances, evoking cozy firesides and sophisticated evenings. Woody Spices create a perfect bridge between woody and oriental perfumes, adding complexity and a touch of warmth that is both inviting and mysterious. They pair well with amber, vanilla, and floral notes, creating well-rounded, rich compositions ideal for cooler weather.
History & Production: The combination of wood and spices in perfumery has historical ties to trade routes that brought exotic spices to Europe and the Middle East. Essential oils are extracted from spices through distillation or CO2 extraction, while wood notes are often derived from steam distillation of heartwood. The blend became particularly popular in oriental fragrances, celebrated for its ability to evoke warmth and richness. This trend continues in contemporary perfumery as a signature for deeper, more complex scents.
