What Does Dry Mean in a Fragrance Description?
Dry fragrances can suggest a lack of obvious sweetness or a crisp, woody or powdery finish.
THE FIRST DETAIL.
A dry effect might come from cedar-like woods, vetiver-style impressions, mineral facets or an unsweetened aromatic structure.
BEYOND THE SURFACE.
Dry does not describe the actual water content of the perfume or guarantee how the product feels on skin.
THE PERSONAL VIEW.
If you generally avoid sugary scents, compare several dry styles to learn whether you prefer woods, greens or minerals.
ALWAYS EXPLORE.
Learn the sensory words used to describe how a perfume feels, from sparkling and airy to creamy, dry and resinous. The journal provides general information and creative commentary, not confirmed ingredients or availability for XASIS visual concepts. Finished-product directions and specifications take priority when purchasing or using a fragrance.
