ABOUT

Mahogany smells deep and warm with a dry, smooth woody character punctuated by resinous sweetness and subtle leathery or cigar-box nuances, evoking polished antique furniture and dusky forest interiors. In perfumery it functions as a base note to add depth, warmth and a refined darkness to woody, oriental and chypre accords, usually recreated as a blended mahogany accord (cedar, sandal, leather, amber and spice facets) rather than as a single natural extract.

CATEGORY · WOODY

Woody notes are characterized by their warm, rich, and grounding qualities, often evoking the essence of forests and nature. Common scents in this category include cedarwood, sandalwood, vetiver, and oakmoss, each contributing a distinct depth and complexity to fragrances. These notes are frequently used in both men’s and women’s perfumes, providing a strong base that enhances floral, spicy, or citrus notes, and creating a sense of tranquility and sophistication.
