Miris

Bitter-green, bark-astringent, faintly medicinal. Wet red bark by a river — the salicin gives it a wintergreen-aspirin edge. Cold, austere, and pharmaceutical. No warmth, no sweetness.

Detaljno

Red willow (Salix laevigata or various red-barked Salix species) has a particular bark scent: bitter-green, astringent, with the faint medicinal quality of salicin — the compound that Bayer synthesized into aspirin in 1897.

The scent is wet bark, green-bitter, slightly medicinal. Not sweet, not warm. The salicin/salicylic acid character gives it a phenolic, almost wintergreen edge. More austere than most wood notes.

In perfumery, red willow is a niche concept providing bitter-bark character. It functions in green, aquatic-riverside, and medicinal compositions. The aspirin-adjacent quality gives it a specific, recognizable edge.

Willows are riparian trees — their roots hold riverbanks together. The red bark color comes from anthocyanin pigments, the same compounds that redden autumn leaves.
