Clearwood™ (Firmenich)
Description
Clearwood is a synthetic woody note used in perfumery to evoke a fresh, clean, and transparent wood scent. Known for its smooth, light, and airy character, Clearwood offers a refined and subtle woody element that is less dense than traditional wood notes like cedar or sandalwood. It is often used in modern compositions to add a crisp, refreshing, and sophisticated depth to fragrances without overwhelming the other elements.
Odor Profile
Clearwood has a light, fresh, and slightly woody aroma with clean, almost transparent undertones. Its scent is soft and smooth, with subtle hints of resin and a faint balsamic quality. The overall profile is airy, delicate, and refined, evoking the sensation of crisp, newly cut wood or a gentle forest breeze. Clearwood adds an elegant, modern woody element to fragrances, offering freshness and sophistication with a clean, understated depth.
