Frequently asked questions
What is a woody perfume?+
Woody perfumes are built around woody materials: cedar, sandalwood, vetiver, oud, patchouli. These notes create deep, warm and lasting fragrances. They form the base of many perfumes, but in woody creations they take centre stage.
Is oud difficult to wear?+
Oud (or agarwood) is an intense, smoky, almost animalic material in its pure form. In modern perfumery it is often softened with sandalwood, rose or vanilla. A decant lets you test how it wears on your skin before committing.
What is the difference between woody and oriental perfumes?+
Woody perfumes highlight dry or creamy woods (cedar, sandalwood). Orientals bring in more warm spices, resins and amber. The two families often overlap: woody orientals and oriental woods are common in niche perfumery.
