Woody

Woody fragrances are built on the warm, dry heart of the tree: cedar, sandalwood, vetiver and patchouli, with oud in the deeper ones. We list 32, most of them leaning masculine or unisex. They open on bergamot or a little spice before the wood settles in and lasts, so they read as grounded rather than loud.

That makes them easy to wear to work and into the evening, through autumn and winter especially. Portofino and Sanremo show the range, from clean cedar to something smokier. The 70 ml bottle is £35.00, with UK delivery in four to ten days and free postage over £79.
