Olfactive Studio Woody Mood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Woody Mood opens with Bergamot, Ginger, Saffron, and Clary Sage, settles into a heart of Sequoia, Incense, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Cacao Pod, Leather, Patchouli, and Styrax. Olfactive Studio's Woody Mood carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a divisive trip to the woodshed, blending warm spice and dry timber with a confounding medicinal edge. Some find it a profoundly comforting, mysterious gem, while others are put off by its challenging start. Definitely try before you buy this peculiar forest-in-a-bottle.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Its warm, woody, and spicy profile makes it excellent for cooler weather and intimate settings like dates. The strong scent and potential for a challenging opening might be too much for a professional office environment, but it can work for casual outings or formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Woody Mood opens with a bracing burst of clary sage and zingy ginger, underscored by the subtle warmth of saffron. The heart unfolds into a deep, dark sequoia forest, smoky with incense and a whisper of black tea, evoking crisp autumn air. A rich, earthy base of cacao pod, patchouli, and styrax delivers a smooth, slightly sweet leather finish that clings to the skin, creating a rugged yet refined aura.
