Teakwood in fragrances is known for its rich, warm, and woody scent. It often brings a sense of sophistication and depth to a fragrance, reminiscent of a dense forest. The use of teakwood in perfumery is appreciated for its durable and elegant aroma. It adds a luxurious and grounding effect, often used in woody or oriental fragrance compositions. Teakwood pairs excellently with spicy, citrus, and floral notes, providing a robust and earthy foundation. It is most commonly used in the base notes of a fragrance, where its full-bodied aroma can linger and provide depth.
Natural or Synthetic?
Natural Teakwood oil is obtained through methods like steam distillation or solvent extraction of the wood. However, due to issues like sustainability, cost, and the difficulty in extracting oil from wood, synthetic versions are often used. These synthetics mimic the characteristic warm, woody, and slightly spicy scent of teakwood, and are more environmentally sustainable and cost-effective.
