Woody Perfumes

Woody perfumes are built on the warm, dry and comforting notes of the forest floor: cedarwood, sandalwood, vetiver, patchouli and smoky oud, often lifted by amber, leather or spice. They feel grounded and confident, and they last beautifully on skin, which makes them a favourite for evenings, cooler months and anyone who wants a signature scent that lingers.

Our woody collection brings together three moods. Amber woody scents are rich and glowing; woody spicy scents add pepper, cinnamon, cardamom or ginger for energy; and woody aromatic scents balance the wood with fresh herbs and citrus for an easy everyday style. Try Rouge Radiance for a luminous amber signature, Urban Legend for a sweet-spicy kick, or The Architect for a clean, polished woody scent.

Every bottle is an Eau de Parfum spray with 20% fragrance oil for long-lasting wear, in 50ml or 100ml.

Frequently asked questions

Are woody perfumes only for men?

No. Many woody scents are unisex, and amber woody styles like Rouge Radiance, Satin Skin and Onyx Heart are loved by women too. Wood notes simply give a fragrance warmth and depth.

How long do woody perfumes last?

Wood, amber and resin notes are among the longest-lasting in perfumery. With 20% fragrance oil, most of our woody scents last a full working day on skin, and longer on clothing.
