Баобаб
Dry, dusty, faintly sour. Baobab smells like the African savanna distilled: sun-baked bark, dry pulp, and the faint tartness of the fruit's vitamin C-rich powder.

Цікавий факт
Radiocarbon dating has shown some baobab trees to be over 2,000 years old. In 2018, a study published in Nature Plants revealed that most of Africa's oldest and largest baobabs had died or begun dying in the previous 12 years, likely linked to climate change.

Baobab bark and fruit are not commercially distilled for perfumery. The note is typically a synthetic or fantasy accord. Baobab seed oil exists but is valued for cosmetic properties rather than fragrance.

У парфумерії
Baobab is a fantasy-synthetic modifier in African-territory, dry-woody, and savanna compositions. It provides sun-baked dryness and ancient-tree character distinct from conventional woods. Built from dry-woody materials, dusty-mineral notes, and faint sour-tart modifiers. The cultural associations with African savannas and millennia-old trees give it narrative depth.
