Woody

Sandalwood, cedar, vetiver, oud. The depth of woods, dry or creamy, assembled like fine marquetry.

Understanding the family

Woods form the framework of many fragrances; in the woody family they step into the foreground. Dry, pencil-like cedar, creamy sandalwood, earthy vetiver, dark and animalic oud: each brings its own texture.

Often paired with citrus, spices or incense, woody fragrances are elegant and long-lasting. Long associated with men's perfumery, they have since been returned to everyone.
