Wooden Perfumes

wood and perfume

This kind of perfumes have a special note of wood or bark. This may be a sandal wood, a pine or a rose, or others that have the smell of the deep heart of a forest, such as: moss, fern, leaves or lichen. It is hard to find nowadays a perfume that can be dominated by a woody note, but some of the most extravagant maintain this feature. The most of them are beautified with other green scents and specific spices, some with the smell of shrivelled wood, others with flowers from a grove, a forest or a jungle and most of them having the sweet smell of amber.

They all have in common a breath of warmy wind, that gives them a misterious force and a delicate personality. If you manage to reach it, Montana Parfum de Peau is the modern quintessence of this category, with its fan of rare, precious woody essences, of amber, cinnamon, pepper, vetiver and ylang ylang. The obsessive Feminite du Bois is based almost entirely on the hipnotic effects of the cedar. No. 19 from Chanel reminds of an enchanted wood, because it gatheres in that little special box a bouquet of leaves, moss, sandal and white flowers. Also, the sandal from the indian state Mysore is very ingenious combined by Jean Desprez with the floral scents. The result? The remarkable Bal a Versailles.

This category can praise with the influence that it has upon some classical, well-known perfumes.
