U parfemima
Argan tree note functions as a base, lending a warm, nutty, slightly roasted character to compositions. Drier and less sweet than coconut, less green than hazelnut. The oil itself is nearly odorless when clean, but unrefined argan oil carries a particular toasted-nut aroma used in gourmand and skin-scent formulas. It anchors woody and amber bases, adding a lipid richness that smooths sharp edges. Compatible with sandalwood, tonka, and incense notes. In skin-musk accords, argan's oily warmth reinforces the impression of bare skin.
