The aroma of Rectified Cade Oil is intense and characterful: a deep, smoky wood note reminiscent of smoldering campfire, weathered leather, and resinous tarwood.
The aroma is:
- Base note : powerful, earthy and soothing
- Texture : syrupy and warm, with a medicinal base
- Atmosphere : mystical, protective and grounded — perfect for meditative perfumes or masculine compositions
Similar to Vetiver or Labdanum, but with a distinctly smoky signature that instantly gives a perfume depth and character.
In fine perfumery, rectified Cade oil is prized as a powerful and atmospheric base note with a pronounced smoky-leathery character .
