Projection comparisons
How to compare the projection of woody perfumes
Compare woody perfumes through actual noticeability rather than counting wood notes or assuming dryness means quietness. Use a clear setting and keep surrounding presence separate from a lingering woody trace.
A HUME Fragrance buying guide
Describe the wood style
Smooth, dry and smoky textures are different scent impressions. They help identify the candidates but do not independently measure projection.
Record product and application
Keep exact names and applicators clear. A tester spray and another bottle's spray should not be described as equal quantities without evidence.
Use contextual feedback
A willing observer can describe presence during a normal interaction. Record the setting and time rather than converting the observation into a universal distance.
Try this before you buy
Keep wood texture, close-range trace and surrounding noticeability as three separate observations.
