Cottonwood (Poplar)

About

Cottonwood (Poplar) evokes riverbanks in spring: cool, watery-green leaf sap and airy catkin fluff, cushioned by soft papery wood and the honeyed, balsamic, slightly medicinal warmth of its resinous buds. In perfumery, poplar bud absolute serves as a warm balsamic heart-to-base note, lending ambered, leathery and tobacco-like, faintly spicy facets to amber, leather, fougère, and chypre accords, while greener poplar accords add fresh leafy lift and gentle fixation.
