About

Warm, earthy woods

Scent Profile

Woody notes encompass a range of aromas from dry, pencil-shaving cedar to creamy sandalwood and smoky vetiver. These notes often evoke forests, earth, and tree bark, with nuances that can be resinous, mossy, or slightly spicy. Over time, woody accords tend to deepen and mellow, providing a grounding effect in a fragrance.

Origin

Woody notes are derived from natural sources such as tree trunks, roots, and bark, including cedarwood, sandalwood, and patchouli. They can also be recreated using synthetic molecules like Iso E Super or Cashmeran to achieve specific textures and effects. Extraction methods include steam distillation for essential oils and solvent extraction for more delicate materials.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use woody notes primarily as base notes to provide longevity and structure, anchoring lighter ingredients. They blend well with florals, spices, and citrus, as well as other woods and resins, to create depth and complexity. Woody accords are essential in both masculine and unisex fragrances, often forming the backbone of chypre, fougère, and oriental compositions.
