Smells of: warm, spicy, woody
Role: base note

Akigalawood opens with a warm, spicy, and slightly woody aroma that has a distinct earthy quality reminiscent of patchouli but with a more refined, smoother character. As it develops, the scent reveals a subtle, balsamic sweetness that adds depth and complexity, making it feel both comforting and sophisticated. In a formula, it acts as a grounding base note, providing a rich, lasting foundation that enhances the overall warmth of the composition. It pairs well with floral notes, especially those with a creamy or powdery aspect, and can also complement citrus and green accords by adding a contrasting depth. The typical usage range is between 0.500% and 3.92%, with most applications around 1.800%.
