Violin Varnish

Photo Violin Varnish :: fragrance ingredients

Violin Varnish is a distinctive note used in perfumery to evoke a sense of antiquity and artistry associated with classical string instruments. The scent is reminiscent of the rich, deep aroma of resin and wood, often blended with a slight smoky character that mimics the aging process of varnished violins. This note has the ability to add a sophisticated and complex layer to fragrances, bringing an artisanal quality that is both nostalgic and profound.

Natural or Synthetic?
The unique characteristics of violin varnish, combining resinous, woody, and smoky notes, are not feasibly or sustainably extractable from actual violins; hence, synthetic chemistry is employed to mimic these notes effectively and economically.
