Woody Note

1 perfumes

Woody notes serve as the structural backbone of perfumery, grounding compositions with their dry, earthy, and resinous character. Ranging from the creamy, milky nuances of sandalwood to the sharp, pencil-shaving profile of cedar and the smoky intensity of vetiver, this family provides essential depth and tenacity. These notes pair naturally with bright citrus accords like bergamot to create a sophisticated contrast, or with spicy cardamom to enhance their inherent warmth. In the Gulf, woody profiles are indispensable; they provide the necessary longevity to withstand the intense heat of the region. Arab houses frequently utilize these notes as a foundation for complex mukhallats, where they act as a canvas for precious oils, ensuring the fragrance remains resonant and commanding throughout the day, whether worn for formal evening gatherings or daily professional settings.
