Woody fragrances are built around notes such as cedarwood, sandalwood, vetiver, patchouli and amber. They’re known for their warm, grounding character and can feel rich, comforting or subtly smoky. Depending on the blend, woody scents can range from deep and intense to soft and skin-like.
The best woody scents balance depth with wearability. Standout favourites include smoky, fireside-inspired fragrances like Maison Margiela By The Fireplace, as well as refined woody compositions such as Diptyque L’Eau Papier. Modern takes, like Boy Smells Hinoki Fantôme, offer a fresh, contemporary edge. Discover more in our best woody perfumes roundup.
Woody fragrances are especially popular in the evening and throughout autumn and winter, when their warmth and depth come through best. That said, lighter woody blends can also work beautifully during the day, offering a comforting, grounded scent that feels effortless and understated.
