Earthy fragrances are deeply rooted in nature—they are reminiscent of damp forests, dark woods, and dry earth after rain. This fragrance style represents tranquility, down-to-earthness, and yet mysterious depth. Those who love authenticity will find powerful examples in compositions like Xerjoff Hayat or Montale Dark Aoud , impressing with dark oud and spicy warmth. Lalique Encre Noire has long been considered a modern classic of earthy perfumery: a homage to vetiver, as dry, raw, and elegant as almost no other fragrance. Red Vetiver by Montale brings additional zest to the category—with smoky accents and woody intensity. The spicy-woody Indonesian Oud by Zegna also demonstrates how refined and deep an earthy fragrance can be when it relies on natural materials and elegant restraint. In our selection, you'll find these and other earthy perfumes in high-quality fragrance samples—perfect for taking your time to discover what it means to have both feet on the ground in style.
