Woody Perfumes – The Nobility of Sandalwood, Cedar and Oud

A woody perfume is built on ligneous raw materials: sandalwood, cedar, gaiac, vetiver or oud. The niche woody perfumes at Soleil d'Or — Creed, Profumum Roma, Nobile 1942 — use traceable-origin ingredients of incomparable complexity and persistence.

Woodys rely on dry, elegant ligneous materials. Oriental perfumes add vivid spices (saffron, cardamom) and burnt oud for more dramatic intensity. A woody is generally more sober and everyday; an oriental is more opulent and festive.

If you love the dry depth of wood, stay in the woodys. If you are drawn to something more animal with a note of tanned leather, explore our leather perfumes — Memo and Bohoboco excel here.

Yes — this is one of the most gender-neutral families in niche perfumery. Creed, Caron and Profumum Roma create woodys that women and men wear with equal pleasure.
