Blackwood is a deep, smoky, and resinous scent with rich woody undertones, often compared to dark, aged timber or mysterious forest floors. It has an intense, almost leathery character that brings a sense of warmth and sophistication to any fragrance.
Typically composed with molecules like guaiacol (smoky, woody) and patchouli oil (earthy, woody depth), blackwood is a powerful base note. Compared to sandalwood or cedarwood, it is darker and more “serious”, making it ideal for mystical, exotic, or masculine blends.
Perfect for luxurious candles, elegant diffusers, or bold colognes, blackwood creates an atmosphere of mystery and refinement. It pairs beautifully with amber, oud, or spicy notes to craft truly unforgettable compositions.
