Clearwood is a modern woody material with a smooth, clean profile shaped by patchouli-like facets. It brings dry woodiness and softly earthy depth to perfume, without the heavier, more camphoraceous character sometimes associated with patchouli. Its polished texture suits women’s fragrances built around a refined woody base.
Usually used in the base, Clearwood supports the dry-down and gives floral, fruity, musky, amber and soft vanilla accords more structure. It pairs especially well with rose, jasmine, citrus, pear, woods and musk, where it can sharpen freshness or balance sweetness. Depending on the surrounding notes, it may read as clean and airy or warmer and more rounded. Explore these fragrances if you enjoy modern woody compositions with an understated finish.
