Woody Oriental
In perfumery orientals with pronounced woody notes, notably sandalwood and rosewood, and less emphasis on amber and resins, are sometimes affectionately called woody orientals. A classic example if Guerlain’s Samsara, where sandalwood takes the lead making the jasmine extra strong and tenacious in true oriental fashion; the scent was inspired by the landscape of India where the finest varieties of sandalwood had been cultivated for centuries. Quetzaly (Daniel Josier) uses sandalwood, cedarwood and oriental incense to juxtapose the daring Mexican-style top notes of chilli peppers!
