Characteristics Of Woody Essential Oils
Most commonly extracted by steam distillation, woody essential oils come from the wood, leaves, branches, or roots of a myriad of different trees & plants.
The steam distillation process is used to preserve the integrity of the essential oils complex chemical profile. This involves using steam to vaporise the volatile chemicals contained within the plant matter, these form the essential oil which naturally separate from hydrosols when the steam is condensed back into a liquid.
What Do Woody Essential Oils Smell Like?
Despite their varied sources, woody essential oils are often fresh and woody with variation being caused by the type of wood or plant being used as the source.
These odours are typically warmer and longer lasting, making them a popular choice for perfumes, aftershaves, and aromatherapy.
What Colours Are Woody Essential Oils?
Depending on their source, the wood scent family of essential oils come in a range of colours typically starting from a pale yellow all the way through to a dark, earthy brown.
What Are Common Uses For Woody Essential Oils?
Due to the connotations of the earthier, woodsy scent, woody essential oils are typically used in more masculine fragrances such as aftershaves or shaving balms.
However, their fresher, more natural notes make them a good choice for candles particularly useful in areas lacking that natural woody smell. Woody essential oils can also be commonly used in spa type fragrance products and applications.
What Can Woody Oils Be Mixed With?
Essential oils that sit within the woody odour family are an excellent base for building a fragrance. This is because of their fixative properties often coming through in the base notes of many fragrance compounds.
Woody essential oils pair well with all of the other odour families.
