MAPLE WOOD

Maple wood in perfume evokes timber and wood shavings, rather than the sugary character of maple syrup. It can form part of a workshop-like woody portrait, where the surrounding materials suggest varnish, resin or other woods. The maple name alone does not guarantee a pale, creamy or especially sweet scent.

D.S. & Durga provides a documented example in a violin-workshop interpretation that names maplewood alongside pine rosin and cypress. The perfumer describes maple shavings within a richer picture of woods and resins. Those facets belong to the whole composition, not a universal maple extract. This is a wood-inspired note: its listing does not identify a particular maple species, extraction method or fixed formula.
