Woody perfumes centre on dry, creamy, earthy or smoky wood effects and can range from fresh daytime scents to rich evening fragrances.
Who this collection is for
These fragrances are useful for office wear, evenings, formal occasions and anyone who prefers less sweetness.
Notes to look for
Depending on the perfume, you may encounter sandalwood, cedar, vetiver, patchouli, guaiac-style woods, amber and spice. Individual formulas vary, so use the product note list and test the dry-down rather than judging only from the collection name.
How to choose
- Match the scent to the occasion and weather.
- Compare concentration, bottle size and complete notes.
- Test on skin and reassess after several hours.
- Begin with conservative application in heat or shared spaces.
