The structural backbone of modern perfumery — and the library that explains how wood notes behave on skin.", intro: "Woody fragrances are not about smelling like furniture. The confusion comes from the casual use of 'woody' to describe anything with a dry, earthy base, when the category actually contains a wide range of very different raw materials: the clean pencil sharpener quality of cedar, the creamy warmth of sandalwood, the smoky, soil-damp earthiness of vetiver, and the barnyard-leather complexity of oud. Each behaves differently on skin. Each changes depending on what it's paired with. Cedar is often a structural note — something that holds other notes together rather than announcing itself. Sandalwood is almost always a skin-enhancer, amplifying what your own skin brings. Vetiver reads differently at different stages of wear. Below is the full library: note by note, format by format, and the pairing strategies that make wood-based fragrances work at any weight.", byline: "Edited by Nelly · Beauty & Style Director", meta: { count: 124, updated: "Updated 3 May 2026", reading: "Avg. 4 min per piece" }, }; const FragranceScentFamiliesWoodySiblings = [ { id: "floral", title: "Floral", n: "01", href: "/en/fragrance/scent-families/floral/" }, { id: "citrus", title: "Citrus", n: "02", href: "/en/fragrance/scent-families/citrus/" }, { id: "woody", title: "Woody", n: "03", cur: true, href: "/en/fragrance/scent-families/woody/" }, { id: "amber", title: "Amber", n: "04", href: "/en/fragrance/scent-families/amber/" }, { id: "green-musks", title: "Green & Musk", n: "05", href: "/en/fragrance/scent-families/green-musks/" }, ]; const FragranceScentFamiliesWoodyQuickFacts = { defn: { h: "What the woody family actually contains", body: "Woody fragrance covers any composition where dry, earthy, or aromatic wood-derived notes form the dominant character.
