ABOUT

Woody notes convey dry, warm, and textured facets—ranging from clean cedar and creamy sandalwood to smoky guaiac, earthy patchouli, and mossy balsamic tones—evoking forests, polished wood, and sun‑baked bark. Used chiefly as long-lasting base notes, they provide structure, depth, and elegance, anchoring compositions and tempering florals, spices, and citruses, whether drawn from natural woods and resins or recreated with modern woody‑amber molecules.
