Rosewood
Lighter and sweeter than sandalwood, with a faint floral edge.
What Rosewood actually smells like
Rosewood is steam-distilled from the wood of Aniba rosaeodora, and it sits at the lighter, sweeter end of the woody spectrum — carrying a faint floral edge that sandalwood, its deeper relative, doesn't have.
That gentler sweetness suits living rooms, offering woody warmth without the heaviness a full base note would bring to a shared space.

A note on safety
For external aromatherapy use only — never taken internally. Use with care during pregnancy, ideally in a diffuser rather than on skin, and avoid entirely during the first trimester unless a qualified practitioner advises otherwise. Suitable for diffuser and inhalation use for adults and children 12 and over; for younger children, consult a healthcare professional first. Use with caution around pets, and never apply topically to an animal. Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets.
