Woody perfumes are built on woods and resins — cedar, sandalwood, vetiver, amberwood — so they smell dry, warm and steady rather than sweet. The Fumist makes 4: N° 01 — fresh and aromatic at first, warm and woody as it settles (for men); N° 06 — bright and fruity up top, smoky and mossy underneath (for men); N° 13 — airy and glowing: saffron and jasmine over amberwood, fir resin and cedar (unisex); N° 19 — a soft floral: peony and citrus, rose and osmanthus on sandalwood (for women). Prices start at ₹799 for 50 ml or ₹1,399 for 100 ml.
