Driftwood in perfumery is valued for its unique ability to evoke the essence of the sea and rugged coastlines. It provides a woody, slightly salty, and earthy aroma, often used to add depth and a natural, outdoorsy character to fragrances. The scent of driftwood is usually achieved through synthetic means, as it encapsulates the smell of wood that has been weathered by the sea, sun, and sand. These synthetic notes are crafted to mimic the natural aroma of driftwood, bringing an element of the marine and the outdoors into the fragrance. Driftwood is often found in aquatic and woody fragrance families, where it complements marine, citrus, and other woody notes, creating a scent reminiscent of oceanic adventures and coastal forests.
Natural or Synthetic?
Driftwood scent is synthetic, replicating the woody, earthy, and marine aroma as there is no method to extract essential oil.
