Description

Bois de Rose is a refined aromatic material known for its distinctive rosy, woody and fresh floral character. Traditionally associated with the essential oil obtained from Aniba rosaeodora, it provides a soft botanical profile that sits beautifully between floral and woody notes.

Its aroma combines fresh rose-like, woody, green, slightly spicy and subtly citrusy facets, creating a smooth and elegant impression. The material is particularly useful when a composition needs a natural-looking rosy nuance without becoming overly sweet or heavy.

Bois de Rose works well in floral, woody, citrus, aromatic and modern unisex fragrances. It can also help connect sparkling citrus top notes with floral and woody heart materials.

Perfumers' Tip

Bois de Rose is excellent for creating a soft, fresh and naturally rosy woody heart. Combine it with Rose Accord and Geranium for a fuller floral effect, or pair it with Bergamot, Lemon and Petitgrain for a bright citrus-woody opening.

For a modern woody composition, try Bois de Rose + Cedarwood + Vetiver + Amyris Oil + Ambroxan. Black Pepper and Cardamom can introduce a subtle spicy lift, while Jasmine or Ylang Ylang can enhance its floral character.
