2) Dior Sauvage Eau de Parfum
Spicy bergamot leads into woody patchouli and warm vanilla. The wood here is tied to a sweeter, warmer base than Bleu de Chanel.
3) YSL Y Eau de Parfum
Woods sit inside a greener aromatic structure built around sage and geranium, while tonka adds warmth. The woody side feels less dry and more aromatic.
Which woody style fits you?
- Bleu de Chanel: polished cedar, sandalwood and musk.
- Sauvage EDP: woody patchouli with warmer vanilla.
- Y EDP: woods with green aromatics and tonka.
