Top 6 Earthy Fragrances Reviewed

Urban Natural – Autumn Woods Reed Diffuser

Autumn Mist

The first product on our list is the reed diffuser by Urban Natural. This product is the perfect, better alternative to scented candles. It continuously diffuses the fragrance in the air without a live flame. Reeds are natural wood sticks that absorb the fragrant oil from the bottle and fill your surroundings with aroma. Urban Natural's diffuser is a blend of exotic earthy elements that makes it mesmerizing, like Autumn.

For the bouquet, three ingredients strongly associate with woody, and earthy textures are selected. The aromatic story begins with Dark Walnut with its rustic, nutty, and woody characteristics that blend with English Lavender's refreshing floral and earthy smell. The ending is intense and purely earthy. 

This scent is prominent among spas and beauty centers, especially in aromatherapy places. The relaxing effect of lavender and amber positively impacts the body. In general, diffusers are essential to concentrate in yoga and meditation centers. It helps to cleanse your soul with the fragrant power of natural elements.

You can put it in your home to create an ambiance of positivity, relaxation, and freshness. Continuous diffusion through a reed will make your home smell nice. The longevity of this product is remarkable. One bottle can consistently enrich your smelling senses for 3 to 4 months. Further, the usage of this product is quite simple. Place it on the right spot, open the bottle, put the reeds inside, and wait for the magic of dark walnut, lavender, and amber to take you to ecstasy. 

Apart from Autumn wood flavor, Urban Naturals have many different tastes in diffusers. For example, Apple Cinnamon, Autumn Harvest, Balsam Forrest, Bamboo, Cinnamon Vanilla, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. 

Caswell-Massey – Yellowstone Mammoth

Walk through the shores of Yellowstone

The second earthy fragrant product is one of the fragrance tonics from the Yellowstone collection by Caswell-Massey called Mammoth. The Yellowstone collection is famous for its floral bouquets that grow on the shores of the famous Yellowstone lake.

The primary function of perfume and fragrance tonic is to provide a pleasant smell to your body. However, their composition is quite different. Fragrance tonics are from all-natural ingredients, predominantly from floral and earthy elements. 

Mammoth is primarily a Citrusy scent representing freshness and a sweet and tangy feel. Cedarwood is for a woody texture to make it bolder and more robust. But that's not all. The lovely and breezy Mountain Hay-grass gives a dominant earthy flavor to the mix. In the end, extremely dynamic and highly fragrant, sweet, and savory river Sage seals the deal for a wonderful earthy cologne experience.

Although floral notes in perfumes generally associate with feminine scents (check the top rated feminine perfumes), the natural floral notes with earthy elements give a unique blend of flavors that both men and women enjoy. So, if you have ambiguity about getting her favorite perfume, try this fragrance tonic instead. She will love it.

All the elements to make this tonic are natural and without any preservatives. In this case, the fragrance's longevity will not be as effective as you found in perfumes. However, the immediate reaction to the aroma of this tonic is hard to forget.

Caswell-Massey plays its role by promoting education and sustainability in the Yellowstone area. In particular, Yellowstone National Park is the official non-profit partner of the park to promote and preserve its sustainability. So, if you are an environmentalist, you can enjoy this product without thought.

Sesneslabs – Terre Diffuser Oil

Sophisticated and Elegant

Sesneslabs specializes in making ultra-luxury and highly fragrant diffuser oils. And their highly acclaimed diffuser oil Terre has made our list of best earthy scents. This fragrance in a small bottle defines masculinity more maturely. The selection of notes for this product is elegantly earthy, with a profound impact of robust citrus for a long-lasting effect.

As usual, great perfumes start with top solid notes, and Terre is no different. At the top, the ingredients are exotic and refreshing. The citrusy accords are from bitter and zesty but highly aromatic Grapefruit. With all its fresh spiciness and floral nuance, Pink Pepper contributes to forming a strong top note. The final ingredient at this stage has to be super earthy, so Flint, with all its weirdness, is selected.

To tone down the tangy and spicy top notes, the theme is woody and green. First, the magnificent Patchouli oil is for strength with its sweet, dark, and earthy texture. Secondly, Geranium Leaves essence is for rich rosy nuance with aromatic green undertones.

The dry down is bold yet soft with a sweet, powdery feel. The ingredients at this stage are earthy, woody, refreshing green Vetiver, woody but innocently soft Cedar, and vanilla-reminiscent Benzoin. With this combination, you will get a strong base for building a fabulous bouquet of flavors for a long-lasting effect.

Terre comes in a 10ml bottle with a pipette attached to the cap. The concentration of this aromatic fusion is quite intense, so a few drops of diffuser oil will suffice. You can apply this scent to the skin; however, you can use it in multiple ways. If you like to make your soap, add a few drops of this oil for aroma, etc. You can also refresh your potpourri with a new earthy smell. For example, put drops on the corners of your carpet for a refreshing ambiance in your living room.

The primary purpose of this product is to place it in any diffuser. The oil burns and spreads the fragrance in your surrounding area. The longevity of this product is impressive, and you can change it with the variation of drops.

If you are fond of diffusers or haven't experienced them yet, then you need to check Terre by SesnesLabs for its deep earthy and refreshing citrusy nuance.

Maison Margiela – Autumn Vibes (Replica) 

A walk in the Autumn Forrest

Maison Margiela Autumn Vibes (Replica) starts with a combination of fragrant spices such as pink pepper, Nutmeg, and Cardamom, which progressively turns into a warm and dry cedar within no time. The experience is further neutralized with the sweet maple syrup that stays for many hours after wear. You can feel undertones of black resins and woody sweetness around the aromatic journey. However, this perfume is mainly cedarwood cologne.

Starting from the top, the opening notes are nose-tickling spicy, and heavily aromatic. The choice of ingredients is Pink Pepper infusion with its spicy texture and rose floral nuance. On the other hand, sweet and spicy with a raisin-like nuance and bitter undernote of Cardamom is for the first impression. 

All the aromatic spiciness tones down with the combination of sweet, savory, and nutty accords. For a few seconds, the heart shows the colors of the fluffy and musky ambiance of Carrot Seeds, which is later taken over by the complex structure of Nutmeg's sweet, savory and earthy facet. 

The dry down is long and bold. The sweet and spicy factors are overtaken by dry and woody notes covered with earthy facets in Cedar. The package further intensifies with the inclusion of Moss from an Oak tree, which is not so bright but very powerful. This combination has a unique impact on the sweetness of Maple. 

To test the impression of this perfume, spray or dab it on the warmer areas of your body, such as your wrist, your neck right below the ears, and the folding of your elbows. Sometimes, non-fragrant moisturizers help to hold the perfume for a longer time.

The longevity of the Autumn Vibes is impressive. It lasts seven to ten hours before completely wiping away from your skin (check the top rated long lasting colognes). This longevity is enough for you to smell like Autumn for a whole active day. The marriage of sweet and dry woody elements created a colorful collage in a cologne bottle. The scent itself is a tribute to the earthy nuance. If you like the dryness of Cedar but not too dry, then you will enjoy the richness of pink pepper and Maple mixed with Cedar in Autumn Vibes.

Chanel - Bleu De Chanel

A timeless piece

Bleu De Chanel is one of the classiest perfumes by Chanel that have enticed the world with its magnificent smell for over a decade (check the best selling colognes in the world). This masterpiece exemplifies the elegance and personality of a fragrance empowered by the signature grapefruit nuance. In addition, its nostalgic scent has a futuristic touch of heavy spiciness and woodiness.

This unforgettable bouquet has a remarkable composition of notes that has been the success story of this fragrance since its inception (check the best smelling colognes).

The top notes include Lemon, Grapefruit, Pink Pepper, and Mint. This combination brings the freshness to another level when robust Grapefruit is with lemon with a hint of mint. The cherry on top is pink pepper, bringing the zest and wow factor.

Nutmeg, Jasmine, Ginger, and Iso E Super define middle notes. The heart is sweet and energetic but mature with the mixture of jasmine's floral essence and ginger's spicy sweet accord. For maturity, Nutmeg and iso-e super are due to their strong association with earthy and woody elements.

The dry down completely transforms the overall feel of the perfume at the top end. The dry and woody facets of Cedar and Sandalwood bring this perfume's character. It further magnifies when Iso E super in the middle and citrusy blast at the top are mixed. Before leaving the fragrance as it is, Patchouli and Incense create a twist in the aroma of Blue De Chanel.

You can feel the perfume's presence on your skin for 7 to 9 hours. As the first batch of perfume is launched, it is reformulated for the subsequent editions by watering down some elements to be in the market. Naturally, this affects the performance of the fragrance in factors like longevity. However, the sillage and projection of this perfume are impressive enough to create neck rotation from where you move (check the best smelling Chanel perfumes for men).

The perfect weather to wear this perfume is Summer, Spring, and Autumn. Winter is not suitable for this scent as it is not strong enough to bear the harshness of cold weather. Furthermore, you can wear it at any time of the day. Impress your colleagues with your Blue De Chanel at your office in the daytime, and at night wear it on date night or a casual meet and greet with friends. Its scent has maturity, so it won't perform in clubs where you need a young fragrance to stand out.

Commodity – Book- (Personal)

Be YOU

The commodity has a very unique and highly personalized perfume collection. And the Book series is inspired by the rustic and antique nuance of old books found in libraries. Book- is a highly exclusive fragrance just for you and your caporegimes. This version is a bit softer than its other counterparts.

Two influential members of woody and earthy accents are selected for top notes for immediate impact. Cedar's dry and soft woody texture is blended with Sandalwood's most prominent oriental wood. The mixture is smooth and woody, and a beautiful blend of dry and greenery accords. The first impression feels like a walk in the corridors of an old library with wooden doors and pillars.

Too much dryness at the top is not suitable for the strength of the perfume. The combination needs some other elements to neutralize the hard, woody texture. For the heart notes, highly aromatic green leaves Tea is selected, which has a sweet and nourishing feel. The overall position of the fragrance further progresses by adding Musk to the mix.

The exotic and highly sensual Musk nuance is left behind as the smell dries. The final expression of this perfume is like your finest collection of age-old books whose pages crack with every page turn, sitting in your library at the top of the shelf. The blend of wood, paper, and ink mesmerizes you whenever you open that book. 

Talking about its longevity, this perfume lasts for a long time. It tends to stay on your skin for 8 to 10 hours. The sillage and projections are also impressive, given the unique blend of flavors producing an incredible scent.
