Layering with Woody: tips from Perfume Educator Daan

"Woody gives a tremendous boost of confidence," says Perfume Educator Daan. "Through notes like Akigalawood and Georgywood, the fragrance projects beautifully and leaves a long-lasting trail."

At the same time, it remains balanced. Minimalistic enough to wear solo, powerful enough to deepen other perfumes.

Precisely because Woody moves along so well, it is a fine base to layer with. Daan likes to use it to give a fragrance more body, to lighten a sweet accent or to hold a soft, skin-like impression longer. These are the perfumes he says you combine Woody with perfectly:

Marc-Antoine Barrois - Tilia Eau de Parfum
Woody gives Tilia more body and brings down the sweetness slightly. The florality remains, but feels calmer and more balanced by the woody notes. "A combination that exudes endless confidence," says Daan.

d'Annam - White Rice Eau de Parfum
With Woody, White Rice stays with you longer. The scent gains more wear and develops more gradually on the skin, keeping you enjoying it for longer.

PANTOMIME Parfum - ACT 1 Eau de Parfum
This combination becomes more intimate and seductive. ACT 1 is creamy and musky by itself, but with Woody it feels warmer and more enveloping. "It really creates something of come closer," says Daan.
