Woody Intense by Arabian Oud - 100ml EdP Perfume

Product Information

The woody fragrance family is often employed in this sector because it is extremely versatile, pleasing and extensive. These facets render structure and vibrancy to a perfume. Streams of fresh guava, exotic, milky coconut and luscious, waxy pineapple open this exotic fragrance, which soon seamlessly flow into a sensual heart note brimming with facets of earthy, savory and nutty sage and musty, balsamic vetiver. Perfume: Perfume is typically the most expensive of the categories due to its high concentration of essential oils (or perfume extract). There's less alcohol, so it has a heavier consistency and usually lasts longer.

Woody fragrances first appeared across the perfume horizon in the 1940s and due to their potent character, were initially considered male scents.

A HEAT WAVE IS COMING WITH LE MALE ELIXIR

Myrrh, which is believed to have been used by the ancient Egyptians to quell anxiety, is proving popular this season. Le Labo is one brand banking on its timely appeal: the latest addition to its City Exclusives line (available globally during the month of September only) honours the heritage of Shanghai with a spicy, liquorice-sweet aroma. Similarly, Aesop’s mysterious new Ouarnon speaks to winter nights with fireplace smoke, crisp hay and an earthy twang of myrrh. While each person is different regarding their taste in fragrance, there's no doubt that woodsy scents feel sophisticated and cool. Maybe it's because they're a departure from the overly sweet perfumes of our youth, or perhaps it's just something that happens to your olfactory system as you grow up (much like our taste buds). Either way, there's no denying the sultry appeal of a scent that's laced with notes like cedar, amber, bergamot, or sandalwood. These have a dry, warm smell—evocative of, well, the woods. They are more suitable for winter fragrances and add a sense of fullness and intensity to a woody scent. In personal care and home products like scented candles and soaps, they enhance the overall user experience. In times of uncertainty, many of us turn to little moments of ritual, and the power scent has to influence your mood shouldn’t be underestimated. (Research has suggested that 75 per cent of our emotions may be triggered by smell.) So it’s hardly surprising that the most interesting fragrances this season use woody, sometimes spiritual notes to offer comfort and calm, encouraging you to breathe deep.

These aspects soon acquiesce into a heart note marked by sensual and intense jasmine, papery, woody and aromatic bamboo, rich, spicy and inviting ginger and warm, exotic white tea bud. The fragrance completes with a base note comprised of earthy, uplifting precious woods, warm amber and sensual musk.The rise in prominence of woody base notes is largely due to trends in the fragrance industry concerning the avoidance of synthetic ingredients and the embrace of simple, natural aromas, such as the timeless, appealing muskiness of wood. Not everyone knows this, but there are six different kinds of perfumes—including Perfume, Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette, Eau de Cologne, Eau Fraîche, and Perfume Oil. The main way to tell the difference between them is what's in the base.
