What are Woody Fragrances?

Fragrances can be classified by certain olfactive families, or themes, or accords.

Woody:

fragrances derive their scents from aromatic woods such as sandalwood, patchouli, aloes, cedar, agarwood (oud), rosewood, cypress, tobacco, tonka, pine and scents like oak moss which are reminiscent of the odor of the forest floor. Usually accompanied by other notes such as citrus, herbs, spices, incense, and balsamic notes like vanilla or benzoin. Animalic notes such as ambergris, leather, musk, castoreum and civet often give depth to woody fragrances and enhance their longevity.

The subdivisions of classifications in this family are:

  • Woody Amber
  • Woody Aquatic
  • Woody Aromatic
  • Woody Chypre
  • Woody Floral 
  • Woody Floral Musk
  • Woody Hesperidic Coniferous
