woody fragrances

Woody accords smell like dry cedar, sandalwood, vetiver, or patchouli on skin after the opening fades. They anchor fall and winter rotation bottles and most evening scents. Designer woody perfumes often open with citrus or spice, then settle into dry timber and soft musk. You find woody accords in office-safe fresh woods, loud niche smoke, and unisex sandalwood minimalism. Projection ranges from skin-close to room-filling depending on oud or amber in the base. Match spray count to your floor: two sprays of a cedar-heavy scent usually stay at arm's length. Save tarry leather-wood combos for after-hours slots.

A woody accord is a blended impression built from several notes, not a single ingredient. Perfumers use it to tag the overall character you smell after the opening fades.
