Корок

Dry, faintly musty, mineral-woody. Cork smells like what it is — compressed bark with a dusty, slightly tannic quality. The smell of a freshly pulled wine cork, before the wine.

No standard commercial cork extraction for perfumery. CO2 extraction of Quercus suber bark could produce an aromatic extract but is not standard practice. Cork tincture (bark macerated in alcohol) is used by some artisan perfumers. The note is typically reconstructed from synthetic materials.

У парфумерії
Cork provides a dry, mineral, woody-bark modifier. Functions in wine-inspired accords, natural-terroir compositions, and Mediterranean notes. Reconstructed from dry wood materials, faint musty modifiers, and mineral notes. The suberin (cork's waxy polymer) contributes a specific dry, waxy quality. Not commercially extracted for perfumery — the note is reconstructed.
