House of Matriarch – Woo

Released in 2012, Woo is an oriental floral fragrance from the House of Matriarch.

Woo opens with a floral-suede accord.  There is a salty marine vibe to the opening without actually being salty.  For me, it’s as if the essence of beachy skin has been captured and layered in with tropical flowers. 

About an hour into wear, the initial notes settle a bit and a leafy, dried tobacco joins in.  There is a semi-sweet and smoky earthiness.  That nudges the scent into a dirty-sexy place.  A touch of vanilla bean seems to help round out and soften the tobacco and suede without coming near to being cloying.

Woo wears on me with moderate projection for roughly 10 hours.
