Woody, 2006: Terre d’Hermès
Choose Woody by the note, not by the bottle photo. “Terre d’Hermès” in 2006 titles that note, and 2006 is strength or time. Shop lighting is not lasting power. Legal woods shift formulas toward cedar and synths.
Woody sits in the Earth group of this atlas. Wood and moss — dry timber, sandal, oud smoke, vetiver root and chypre. Cedar, iso-woods and dry timber — the architecture under most modern bottles. Concentration is oil in alcohol, not a quality score. EDT (about 5–15%) shows more top; EDP (about 15–20%) shows more heart and base. Houses vary; this is not a lab assay.
One or two sprays on skin or cloth — sternum or hair, not a cloud in a lift. Let it turn an hour before you add more. Day to night, all year. Very dry skin can read woods as sawdust. Yes. Warm, moist skin amplifies sweet and spice; dry or cool skin can turn the same juice woody, soapy or short. Test on your skin, not only a blotter.
IFRA sets industry limits on some naturals and synthetics. A reformulation is usually a legal edit, not a betrayal. This atlas is not a safety sheet. Any ethics or materials I should know? Read the materials chapter for the actual load. Niche and designer often share a family and disagree on dose.
On the blotter, keep 2006, “Terre d’Hermès,” and 2006. Without them Woody blurs.2006
