Woody Family: Earthy and Grounding

The Woody Family is known for its earthy, grounding qualities. Featuring deep, rich notes of sandalwood, cedar, and vetiver, this family captures the natural warmth of wood and forests. Woody fragrances can be both dry and creamy, depending on the combination of notes, and are often used to create a sense of stability and sophistication.

Sandalwood is one of the most popular members of the Woody family, offering a smooth, creamy texture that’s both calming and luxurious. Cedarwood provides a sharper, more resinous scent, while vetiver is earthy, with a hint of smokiness. Patchouli adds depth and a touch of sweetness, making it a staple in many woody blends.

Woody fragrances are often used as base notes in perfumes, providing longevity and structure. In Mossy Woods or Chypre fragrances, the woodiness is blended with moss and citrus, creating a classic, refined scent. Dry Woods, like those found in leather perfumes, have a smoky, almost burnt quality, perfect for adding an edge to more masculine scents.

Woody fragrances are ideal for both men and women, offering a timeless appeal that feels both natural and sophisticated. These scents are perfect for creating a sense of calm and grounding, making them ideal for formal occasions or moments when you need to feel anchored.
