Dry Wood

About

Dry wood is a dry, sun-baked woody accord—dusty cedar, splintered oak and pencil-shaving facets with subtle toasted, tobacco-like and faintly smoky or resinous undertones that feel arid and restrained rather than lush. In perfumery it functions as a structural base or backbone to lend austerity and longevity to fougères, chypres, woody-orientals and unisex blends, commonly paired with spices, leather, citrus, vetiver, resins or musks to dry out florals and balance sweeter or gourmand elements.
