The birchwood scent is smoky, woody, and slightly leathery, offering a rugged and masculine character to fragrance creations. Its deep, earthy aroma is reminiscent of charred wood and leather, adding a bold and distinctive touch to your scented products.
Traditionally, the birchwood scent comes from the bark of the birch tree, with birch tar oil providing its iconic smoky and tar-like quality. Today, synthetic molecules like guaiacol and isoeugenol are often used to recreate its bold aroma. Birchwood is typically found in base accords, where it lends a robust and long-lasting foundation to woody, leathery, or chypre fragrances.
Compared to other woody notes like cedarwood or sandalwood, birchwood is darker and more intense, making it ideal for creating products with a smoky, outdoorsy vibe. Perfect for candles, soaps, and masculine fragrances, the birchwood scent brings an adventurous and edgy flair to your creations.
