Dry Wood

What it smells like

Dry Wood presents a crisp, structured base drawn from non‑creamy woods such as cedar and cypress. Its clean, earthy tone supplies solidity and longevity, making it a staple for woody, citrus, warm spicy and aromatic accords. Perfumers employ it to create a refined, modern backbone that anchors more volatile top notes while maintaining subtle depth.
