Деревина мескіту

Dense, warm, and aromatic. Mesquite wood itself — unburned — smells of dry, sun-baked heartwood with a faint sweetness from the tree's naturally high sugar content.

Спосіб отримання
Direct essential oil distillation of mesquite heartwood is not a standard commercial product. The note in perfumery is typically reconstructed. Mesquite wood chips are commercially available for smoking food, and their aromatic compounds could theoretically be captured via CO2 or steam distillation, but this is not done at perfumery scale.

У парфумерії
Mesquite wood provides a dry, warm woody base that carries arid landscapes. It functions as a structural base note — less dramatic than its smoky counterpart but with good persistence. Useful in desert-themed, dry-woody, and minimalist compositions. Built from woody-amber molecules, dry sandalwood substitutes, and trace amounts of vanillin or furfural derivatives.
