When colder weather is upon us, we often find ourselves overhauling any and every ritual associated with the warmer months. On the fashion side, that means developing a new rotation of shoes and replacing tanks with sweaters. Where beauty is concerned, it can mean swapping your lightweight, gel-based products for a heavier skincare routine. Sometimes, we find ourselves so immersed in other endeavors that it can be easy to overlook the need to swap our summery fragrances for the best perfumes of the season . That being said, the task becomes pretty easy once you’re in on the secret behind compliments all winter long: amber perfumes.

Eau de Parfum: This type of fragrance has the second-highest concentration of essential oils and is intended to last anywhere from six to eight hours. It has a slightly higher alcohol and water concentration. Most of the fragrances on this list lie within this category. Eau de Cologne: This type has less essential oil. It doesn't last too long on the skin, so it's typically found in larger bottles for more frequent reapplication.While taken very seriously in the Middle East, oud has only caught on in a big way in the UK in last few years. It is derived from the tropical agar tree, which is thought to originate in Assam in India. When the tree is infected by a mould known as Phialophora parasitica it reacts by producing a dense, dark and fragrant resin to protect itself. It is the resin-embedded heartwood of the tree that is the source of oud. Not everyone knows this, but there are six different kinds of perfumes—including Perfume, Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette, Eau de Cologne, Eau Fraîche, and Perfume Oil. The main way to tell the difference between them is what's in the base.

Best known for making some of the best men’s fashion pieces on the planet, Comme Des Garcons’ line of eau de parfum is just as appealing to us. While we’re usually wearing the original fragrance, we’re just as big a fan of Wonderwood. You’ll be drawn to this one thanks to the gorgeous bottle design, however, it’s the standout notes of vetiver, sandalwood, Virginia cedar, and cypress that make this one of our favourite earthy colognes. Yet somehow that never results in overkill for this cologne with sandalwood. A stand out if you’re looking for a great daily-wearing fragrance. The scent itself varies considerably depending on the wood used, where the tree was grown and whether the tree itself was cultivated or naturally infected. The fragrance is – unsurprisingly – described as warm and woody with a slight hint of damp rot, while some varieties are smoky and sweet. It can be very potent so not one for the faint-hearted. Warm in colour and diverse in spirit, Odin 09 features earthy notes that play expertly with a variety of enticing aromas. While the majority of scents on this list take inspiration from the whisky world, Odin finds top notes like peach and pear blossom to segue into a deeply sweet and citrusy middle of vanilla and orange blossom. At the base of this woody cologne for men are notes of tobacco and amber to give this fragrance its classic earthy edge. While each person is different regarding their taste in fragrance, there's no doubt that woodsy scents feel sophisticated and cool. Maybe it's because they're a departure from the overly sweet perfumes of our youth, or perhaps it's just something that happens to your olfactory system as you grow up (much like our taste buds). Either way, there's no denying the sultry appeal of a scent that's laced with notes like cedar, amber, bergamot, or sandalwood. These have a dry, warm smell—evocative of, well, the woods. Perfume: Perfume is typically the most expensive of the categories due to its high concentration of essential oils (or perfume extract). There's less alcohol, so it has a heavier consistency and usually lasts longer.From one of the biggest names in perfumery comes Royal Oud by Creed. If we’re talking about rare ingredients, Regal Indian oud helps create this woody cologne for men. One can’t look past Creed when it comes to quality fragrances as they’re widely regarded as THE best brand on the market, although, you’ll pay for the luxury. Royal oud sits upon a woody foundation, joined by generous amounts of grass, smoke, citrus and spice for an overall profile that’s as profoundly versatile and masculine as it is earthy. Inspired by luxurious elements of a Persian palace – wood, leather, marble and gold – it is a woody perfume for him designed for all occassions.

For this story, she considered dozens of different woodsy fragrances, paying close attention to their fragrance profiles. Don’t let price dissuade you from purchasing this fragrance, because it’s truly one of the best overall woody colognes on the market. In our testing, we found it to be one of the longest-lasting options on our list, exactly what you’d expect from Tom Ford’s very special private collection. You’ll struggle to find an option on the market that balances rare ingredients like this, employing musky oud and notes of amber and vanilla for a sweet, savoury and woody scent best summed up as exotic. Perfect for date night, choose this if you’re looking for an unmistakable cologne that will last you a lifetime. Eau Fraîche: This category has the lower concentration of essential oils or perfume extracts. They last the shortest amount of time and are usually the most inexpensive options available. We've already talked about the prevalence of beloved notes like rose and vanilla in what feels like the majority of our favourite perfumes, and cosy sandalwood is another unanimous favourite. It manages to feel warm and woody, but it also possesses a creamy richness, which makes it the perfect base note for a wide range of fragrances—not just the sweet, spicy or musky types you might initially assume.
