Rosewood—also known as Bois de Rose—is a classic within the floral-woody family of perfumery. Historically steam-distilled from the heartwood of Brazilian rosewood (Aniba Rosaedora), it is cherished for a soft, sweet, and airy aroma that blends floral and herbal nuances with a bright, citrusy lift.

Because this precious timber was loved—and harvested—so intensely, the species is now strictly protected and faces the risk of extinction. In the interest of sustainability, SCENT recreates the signature character of rosewood using natural molecules extracted from other botanicals. Our nature-derived reconstitution preserves the recognizable floral-herbal profile of the original while offering a responsible alternative.

Grown in Brazil

Brazil—the biodiversity cradle of the Amazon—offers a trove of distinctive essential oils, from rainforest treasures to plantation staples. Standouts include copaiba (warm, balsamic-resinous), andiroba (woody, nutty seed oil), aroeira/pink pepper (spicy with a rosy lift), lemon-scented eucalyptus Eucalyptus/Corymbia citriodora (cooling, citronellal-bright), and citrus, led by São Paulo sweet orange (radiant, juicy). Rosewood/Bois de Rose from Aniba rosaeodora was once iconic and is now tightly regulated under sustainability efforts. With abundant feedstocks and robust processing infrastructure, Brazil supplies everything from luminous top notes to grounding bases for fine fragrance, personal care, and home care.

Blending

The composition opens clean and luminous, with a gentle, transparent sweetness. Its heart features naturally sourced linalool from Ho Wood, interlaced with soft herbal facets, warm woods, and a sunlit hint of citrus. In blends, this profile enhances diffusion and lends a refined elegance to the overall structure.

In perfumery, rosewood is prized for lifting floral materials into the top of the composition and harmoniously bridging floral, woody, and citrus families. It pairs naturally with bergamot, orange, lemon, cedarwood, sandalwood, rose, and neroli—creating a fresh, buoyant, and quietly radiant effect.

Aromatherapy

Beyond perfumery, rosewood’s gentle aroma is widely used to encourage relaxation. With its naturally high linalool content, it is often chosen for purifying and refreshing ambient products. As linalool can be a skin sensitizer for some individuals, always conduct a patch test before topical use. When diffused, this fragrance helps create a clean, tranquil atmosphere that supports calm, clarity, and a sense of balance.

Can essential oils be applied directly to the skin?

Many essential oils need to be diluted before being applied to the skin; otherwise, their high concentration may cause irritation.

Can pregnant women use essential oils?

Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare professional before using essential oils, as they can affect hormones and the impact on the baby during development is not well understood.

What is the difference between natural essential oils and synthetic fragrances?

Essential oils are extracted from parts of plants, are entirely natural, and have therapeutic properties. In contrast, synthetic fragrances are created in a lab and contain artificial components.

Scent.vn works directly with reputable global partners, inspecting their facilities and sourcing regions to ensure authenticity. We also conduct GCMS tests on each product to verify its components and quality.

Scent.vn focuses on direct sales to maintain quality control and therefore does not offer a distributor program for this product line. However, you can purchase essential oils in bulk from Scent.vn and sell them under your own brand.
