Photo Silver Birch :: fragrance ingredients

Silver Birch, scientifically known as Betula pendula, is a fragrance note derived from the aromatic essence of the silver birch tree. Renowned for its crisp, clean, and somewhat camphoric aroma, Silver Birch has been used historically in perfumery to impart a fresh, woody, and slightly smoky scent to fragrances. The scent profile includes a distinctive woody aroma with hints of leather and a touch of spice, reflecting the natural environment in which it thrives. Historically, the use of Silver Birch in perfumery dates back to traditional practices where its tar was used for its strong, enduring scent in leather tanning and care products. Today, Silver Birch is celebrated in perfumery for its robust and uplifting scent which adds a natural, earthy dimension to both masculine and feminine fragrances.

Natural or Synthetic?
