Massoia Wood, derived from the Massoia tree (Cryptocarya massoia), has a distinctive aromatic profile. Native to Indonesia, particularly in Papua and Sulawesi, the tree's bark is the primary source of its unique scent. Massoia Wood offers a complex aroma that blends creamy, sweet, and woody notes, making it a cherished ingredient in the world of fragrance. Historically, Massoia Wood has been used in traditional practices for its aromatic and medicinal properties. In perfumery, it has the ability to impart a creamy, almost coconut-like sweetness, intertwined with rich woody undertones. This makes it particularly well suited in crafting oriental and exotic fragrance compositions.
