About Green Wood
Green Wood describes a woody scent with a leafy or stem-like freshness alongside it. An accord is a combination of materials used to suggest a particular impression. The name concerns the relationship between wood and greenery; it does not identify a single plant, an essential oil, or one fixed ingredient.
Scent Profile
Imagine the drier texture of wood beside the freshness associated with a torn leaf. Emphasising the wood can suggest a quieter, more settled character, while giving the green facet more prominence can bring young foliage or woodland air to mind. Attention can move between leaves, bark, and the surface of the wood, providing different ways to understand a green woody impression. The balance depends on the interpretation, as do its sweetness, weight, and any additional earthy or resinous facets.
Use in Perfumery
Alongside flowers, a green woody accord can suggest stems and leaves as well as petals. Watery impressions can offer another contrast, inviting associations with a cool woodland setting. It provides a way to connect the warmer associations of wood with fresher greenery. There is no universal recipe or required position in a perfume's development: the surrounding materials shape the effect. The note name alone cannot establish the tree species, ingredients, or production methods behind a particular fragrance.
