Weaving a woodsy olfactory tale offers a delight to the senses like no other. scent from any other perfume family.
Woody fragrances are characterized as rich warm, dense and elegant.
They feature head notes that are usually aromatic and citrusy, heart notes from dry and woody elements, and base notes derived from raw materials like: trees, roots moss, leaves, grasses and resins.
They first appeared in the 1940s, and because of their potent nature were categorized as masculine scents.
In 1952, the Serge Lutens launch of the first woody fragrance for women, Femininite du Bois, altered the landscape forever, marking the very first time such a high percentage of woody elements was assimilated into a single fragrance.
The magnetic allure of earthy, woody scents lies in the inclusion of their timeless, appealing facets that usually include: buttery, sensual sandalwood; green, balsamic vetiver; cool, minty pine; deep, woody and musky patchouli; dry, linear cedar wood and dense, fruity and smoky oudh.
They are also often blended with other aspects from diverse fragrance families including: grassy; floral; spicy; fruity and citrus notes.
Woody elements are often the framework for a multitude of fine, ambrosial scents that are used for both personal care products ranging from lotions and deodorants to body wash and scented candles for enhancing the ambiance of a home.
Their association with the great outdoors and Mother Nature render these scents, many of which have been created by Air Scent Diffusers, ideal for home cleaning products of all kinds.
A recent survey cited that more than 85% of women believe that woody fragrances are the sexiest in the world. They are elusive, mysterious and boldly beautiful.
Their erotic qualities derive from their ability to amplify pheromone levels, which the body produces naturally and plays an important role in sexual attraction.
Pheromone perfumes contain chemicals that are known to attract the opposite sex. Some sexy woodsy facets are: creamy, musky sandalwood and dark, rich amber.
Sandalwood has been used as an aphrodisiac for more than 4,000 years and sultry, seductive amber encourages intimacy by raising blood circulation and revitalizing hormones.
A British study conducted by OnBuy concluded that woody and sweet notes appear in 70% of the world’s top ten perfumes.
It also concluded that woody notes are popular not only because of their aromatic character but also because there are so many diverse types.
The perfumers at Air Scent Diffusers are behavioral psychologists in their own particular way because they possess a primal understanding of how fragrance can transform any product.
