Fragrances can be classified by certain olfactive families, or themes, or accords.Please view all the other guides on the Fragrance Families I have written.
In this guide I will briefly discuss the Woody themes.
Woody fragrances derive their scents from aromatic woods such as sandalwood, patchouli, aloes, cedar, agarwood,pine and scents like oak moss which are reminiscent of the odor of the forest floor. The subdivisions of classifications in this family are: woody hesperidic coniferous, woody aromatic,floral woody, woody spicy, woody spicy leather, and woody amber.
Perfumes which are classified as Woody are:
- L’Eau d’Issey
- Feminite du Bois
- Organza
- Amarige
- Panthere
- Nocturnes
- Vetiver
- Monsieur Carven
- Antaeus
Please see my other guides for the rest of the Fragrance Families.
