Brazilian Redwood, also known as Massaranduba, is a rich and exotic wood primarily sourced from the Amazon Rainforest. Known for its robust and enchanting scent, Brazilian Redwood offers a deep, woody aroma with subtle hints of sweetness and spice. This fragrance note is celebrated for its longevity and complex profile, which enhances the base of many luxury perfumes. Historically, its use in perfumery is not as extensive as some traditional woods like sandalwood or cedar, but it has gained recognition for its unique olfactory properties and sustainable sourcing practices in modern formulations.
Natural or Synthetic?
Brazilian Redwood is typically used in its natural form due to the distinctiveness of its natural oil. However, synthetic alternatives may be utilized to ensure sustainability and consistency in fragrance production. The extraction of oil from Brazilian Redwood involves sustainable harvesting practices, with the essential oil being derived through steam distillation of the wood, preserving its rich, aromatic properties.
