Warm and seductive fragrances that capture everything from leather-covered books to our candle stall nestled amongst a myriad of exotic food and spices. Our woody scents bring a sense of comfort and cosiness to any space. Light our Library candle whilst reading your favourite novel, or fill your room with the rich scents of an autumnal harvest with our Smoked Plum diffuser.
Woody scents are warm, refined and timeless. Typically a woody scent is rich with notes of Patchouli, Cedarwood, Vetiver, Leather and Musk, and like the name suggests, reflects the richness of the bark, trees, leaves and undergrowth to be discovered in woodlands.
Woody scents can have floral or citrus notes too though, which adds a subtle freshness to the earthy, heavier notes of the wood. Our Calabrian Summer and English Garden fragrances are great examples of this.
If you're looking for a scent that oozes indulgence, luxury and warmth, then a woody fragrance might just be for you.
Woody scents provide a sense of comfort and are often used in aromatherapy, bringing a resounding sense of relaxation and calm to a space. Their earthy notes have a grounding effect making them perfect during meditation and moments of self reflection. If you're seeking a little bit of respite from the chaos of the everyday, then we'd recommended lighting a woody candle and taking time for self-care.
The scents are perfect if you're looking for a calming aroma in the evenings, perhaps with your favourite book in hand or in the company of friends. The sense of comfort that woody scents bring to a space, also make them great for taking on your travels, bringing a scent of the familiar to an unfamiliar space.
The warmth and comfort that woody scents bring make them ideal for the living room, particularly on a cold autumn or winter's night. There's a cosiness with this scent family that make them perfect for those evenings curled up on the sofa, shutting the world away.
Woody scents aren't just for winter though. If you want to welcome your guests into your home with a comforting aroma, then the hallway would be a great spot for a woody scented diffuser or room spray, all year round.
Whilst woody scents have rich top notes of musk, leather and oud, that's not to say that these fragrances are unsuitable through the summer months. The scents are often a complex mix of those heavier notes, alongside floral and fresh middle, or base notes.
Although featuring notes of cedarwood and amber, our Cedar & Rose scent is fragrant with sweet floral notes of Geranium, Peony and Rose. It transports you to the rambling rose bush swaying in the wind, during the height of summer. Our Calabrian Summer fragrance is rich with Patchouli and Sandalwood, yet its notes of Lavender, Lemon and Orange, takes you to the picturesque coastline of Calabria. Woody scents then, aren't always reminiscent of cosy nights by the fire or to be enjoyed in depths of winter. Plus, sometimes on those dark dreary nights, we just might want a little hint of summer that these more complex woody scents allow!
