Frostwood™

Sharp pine needles over cold, damp bark. Greener and crisper than cedarwood, less resinous than raw turpentine. A mineral-cool quality sits underneath, like stone exposed to winter air. The overall impression is luminous and transparent rather than heavy.

Frostwood is a captive synthetic ingredient developed in Holzminden, first presented at the World Perfumery Congress in 2024 alongside Ambronova. It belongs to the Iconoclast series of proprietary molecules.

The olfactory profile is described by its creators as 'persistent captured in a bottle.' It delivers a piney-woody character with pronounced green and cooling undertones -- the scent of sharp, crisp air mixed with aromatic pine needles and the damper, earthier smell of forest flo or. It sits between the dry cedar-pencil zone and the resinous turpentine zone, but with a particular frozen-air freshness that neither natural cedarwood nor pine oils achieve alone.

As a captive molecule, Frostwood is not available on the open market. Its chemical structure has not been publicly disclosed. Functionally, it likely is a woody-fresh modifier in the heart-to-base transiti on, providing lift and transparency to dense wood accords.
