Woody perfumes are loved for their depth and structure. Some wood fragrances are creamy and smooth, especially those built around sandalwood. Others are dry and architectural, with cedarwood, vetiver or smoky woods creating a more minimal, refined effect. Woods are also commonly used as base notes to give fragrance longevity and presence.

At Vault Beauty, our wood fragrance edit includes soft woody perfumes, earthy scents, smoky woods and modern woody musks. Choose a sandalwood fragrance if you like creamy warmth, a cedar fragrance if you prefer dry elegance, or a vetiver perfume if you are drawn to green, earthy sophistication.
