About Kingwood

Kingwood is a woody note inspired by the precious timber from the Dalbergia genus. This wood, known for its dense, beautiful grain and deep color, has been used in fine furniture and musical instruments. In perfumery, the kingwood note adds a warm, woody aroma with subtle spicy and balsamic nuances, imparting a sophisticated character.

Scent Profile

The scent of kingwood is based on the warmth of dry wood, with a hint of sweetness and smoky depth. At the top, a light resinous quality is perceived, evolving into a creamy, smooth woody note over time. Kingwood blends well with other woody and amber notes, providing depth and longevity to fragrances.

Use in Perfumery

Kingwood is primarily used as a base or middle note, lending stability and a luxurious feel to fragrances. In men's fragrances, it is combined with spicy notes and citrus to express strength and refinement. In unisex and women's fragrances, it is blended with floral or oriental notes to create warm, sensual scents.
