Spicy Woody

The addition of spices brings on a piquant nuance to the more typically sober woody compositions. Saffron, cardamom, cinnamon and pepper, to name but a few, darken or freshen up the formula, depending on the angle the perfumer is going for. Vetiverissimo (Bruno Fazzolari) is a prime example of this style, fresh and peppery in equal measure, sparkling and very wearable. Spicy Calabria (Maison Sybarite) is another one which fuses ginger and black pepper to give a jolt to the woods; bewitching!
