Collection: Woods
The Woods family is a relatively new addition, created to accommodate the deluge of modern releases that have a dominant woody character without a chypre base. These fragrances feature rich and opulent notes of sandalwood and patchouli and the dry earthy notes of cedar and vetiver. The top notes of woody fragrances often feature lavender, citrus notes or other aromatic elements. This family also contains a bevy of fragrances built around a single woody material like vetiver fragrances, sandalwood fragrances, cedar fragrances and patchouli fragrances as well as decidedly “green” fragrances that focus on the vegetal nature of foliage.
Fragrances in this family are generally drier and display a pronounced lack of sweetness. It is also worth noting that those searching for something with a dark woody character without the decidedly 'perfumey' character of Chypres will be drawn to the Woods family.
