Perfumes with Benzoin
Woody notes have structured perfumery for centuries. They bring depth, grounding and longevity to a composition. From dry, crackling cedar to creamy, milky sandalwood, by way of earthy patchouli and smoky vetiver, every wood has its own personality. Oud, or agarwood, is the most precious ingredient in oriental perfumery, able to transform a fragrance completely. These resinous or woody materials often last for hours on the skin.
A woody fragrance creates a calm, assured presence. It evokes the forest, an old library, the creak of an oak floor. Woods can be dry and mineral, or warm and enveloping depending on the composition. On the skin they unfold gradually: the first hours reveal the top notes, but the true signature speaks in the woody base.
Benzoin is mainly used as a base note, the lasting signature on the skin. It belongs to the following olfactory families: Woody, Woody Oriental, Woody Musky, Woody Chypre, Aromatic Fougère — woody accords form the backbone of many niche perfumes. At BrazaScent, Louis Vuitton, Serge Lutens, Amouage and 7 other houses use this note in 13 compositions available as decants.
BrazaScent offers 13 decants featuring benzoin, including California Dream, Ambre Sultan and Matière noire . Each decant is available in 2ml, 5ml, 10ml or 30ml, drawn directly from the original bottle. It's the fairest way to try this note on your skin before investing in a full bottle.
