Woody

Woody fragrances have recently been rediscovered and are becoming increasingly popular. They are characterised by animalic notes like patchouli, oakmoss and labdanum. Warmer woody notes can be smoky and have leather attributes. Many Woody scents are mixed with fruity or floral fragrances. The three key types of Woody scents include Woods, Mossy Woods and Dry Woods. Classic Woods contain elements of aromatic woods such as cedar, pine, patchouli, agarwood, sandalwood and vetiver. Mossy Wood scents typically contain a combination of both

Woody and Oriental notes. Base notes of Mossy Woods include oakmoss, amber and rich soil blended with citrus and green notes. They are earthy and inviting scents. Dry Woods fragrances are made from rich notes of dry wood and leather. These scents are smoky and animalic with additions of cedar, tobacco, honey and wood tar. Woody fragrances in general are bold and distinguished. Woody scented candles are ideal for lounge rooms and living areas, with rich leather fragrances perfectly suited for the home library or study. Many candlemakers release Woody scented holiday candles over the Christmas period with strong notes of pine which recreate that refreshing sent of freshly cut Christmas tree – perfect for spreading Christmas cheer in the home.
