Woody fragrances for men

Woody fragrances for men are built around cedar, vetiver, sandalwood or guaiac, giving a dry, warm and grounded character; this list brings together the most popular men's scents with a dominant woody accord. Cedar adds a dry, pencil-shaving crispness, vetiver brings an earthy and slightly smoky feel, and sandalwood adds creamy softness. Paired with citrus these notes work well in daytime, while spice and leather push them towards the evening.

Woody scents are one of the few families you can wear all year round: pick versions with a bright opening for summer and ones deepened with resin or tobacco for winter. Since woods usually sit in the base, they last a long time on skin, so there is no need to overspray. Every fragrance here is a men's scent with a strong woody accord, sorted by popularity.
