Woody note


An olfactory facet drawn from noble woods, sandalwood, cedar, vetiver, patchouli, lending warmth, depth and longevity to a fragrance. Often placed in the base, the woody note structures the signature and prolongs the sillage. Elegant and timeless, it readily dresses the evening spaces of a palace, bars and libraries, where a hushed, enveloping atmosphere is sought.
