Frequently asked questions

What defines a masculine and woody fragrance?

It often feels more grounded and structured than fresh scents. Common building blocks include wood notes, vetiver, patchouli, oakmoss, amberwood and sometimes smoky notes such as oud or incense. The base is clear and holds the whole scent together.

When are woody fragrances best?

They are strong choices for work, dinner, evenings and cooler-weather seasons. They also work for everyday wear if you want a signature that feels steady and mature without becoming too sweet or sporty.

How many sprays are right for a woody scent?

Start with 1 to 3 sprays. Woody profiles can feel more noticeable, especially indoors. For more impact, build in small steps rather than going heavy right away.

What is the difference between woody, oud and amber?

Woody often feels dry, clean and structured. Oud usually leans darker, smokier and richer. Amber is more about warm, resinous roundness that makes the base softer with more glow.

How do I make a woody fragrance last well all day?

Apply to clean skin, ideally after a shower. Spray on pulse points and add a light spray on clothes if you want. To extend the scent, top up carefully later instead of overapplying from the start.
