Palisander Rosewood, known for its rich, deep, and woody scent, has a long history in perfumery. Originating from the Dalbergia genus, it's prized for its warm and sophisticated aroma. Palisander Rosewood adds a luxurious depth to fragrances, often used in base notes to provide a lasting impression. It's characterized by a unique combination of woody, spicy, and slightly floral tones, making it a versatile ingredient in both masculine and feminine compositions. Its usage dates back centuries, traditionally valued for its distinctive scent and longevity.
Natural or Synthetic?
Palisander Rosewood can be used both naturally and synthetically in perfumery. Natural extraction involves distilling the oil from the wood, which is a resource-intensive process. Due to sustainability concerns and the high cost of extraction, synthetic alternatives are often used. These synthetic versions aim to replicate the warm, woody character of natural rosewood while being more environmentally sustainable and cost-effective.
