ABOUT

Redwood reads as a deep, dry woody accord with warm balsamic sweetness, a subtle cedar-like resin and faint smoky-earthy facets that evoke sun-warmed trunks, ancient forests and the scent of bark and fallen needles. In perfumery it is used as a long-lasting base note and fixative to give a majestic, outdoorsy backbone, commonly paired with citrus or florals for contrast and with amber, vetiver, patchouli, leather or incense to amplify its resinous depth and longevity.

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.
