Cocobolo

About

Cocobolo is the olfactory impression of the tropical rosewood Dalbergia retusa: a dense, polished-wood scent that is warm and resinous, with cinnamon‑pepper spice, faint orange‑zest brightness, cocoa‑dust sweetness, and soft leather‑tobacco undertones. It evokes hand‑rubbed exotic cabinetry and sun‑warmed hardwood, a sense of opulence and craftsmanship. In perfumery it is typically a constructed accord (the natural wood is seldom distilled and is protected) used as a plush, long‑lasting base in woody, amber, and gourmand‑woody compositions, smoothing dry woods and pairing effortlessly with sandalwood, cedar, patchouli, vanilla/tonka, cacao, and balsamic resins like benzoin or labdanum.
