Кенійське рожеве дерево

Sweet, rosy, and woody. Kenya rosewood smells like dried rose petals pressed between warm wood — a natural bridge between floral and woody notes with a delicate, honeyed transparency.

У парфумерії
Kenya rosewood is a heart-to-base transitional note, bridging floral and woody elements in a composition. It is particularly useful in chypre, floral-woody, and amber structures where a smooth floral-wood connection is needed. The material provides natural rosy warmth without the soapiness of geraniol-heavy rose oils. Less commonly available than synthetic rosewood alternatives, but prized in niche formulation for its authenticity.
