HIVERNAL® NEO

Hivernal® Neo is a modern, high-impact woody-amber molecule renowned for its cool, dry, and mineral-like character. Its scent evokes frosted woods, clean stone, and crisp mountain air, blending transparent cedar facets with a subtle ambered warmth and a hint of smoky, metallic freshness. More refined and diffusive than classic woody ambers, Hivernal® Neo brings clarity, structure, and a contemporary edge to compositions. It is most often used as a base note, where it enhances longevity, projection, and a sleek, architectural feel in woody, aromatic, and modern amber fragrances.

History & Production: Developed as part of the new generation of synthetic woody-amber materials, Hivernal® Neo was designed to offer greater radiance, stability, and environmental compatibility than earlier woody molecules. Its name—derived from hiver (winter)—reflects its signature cool, icy-woody profile. Produced entirely through advanced organic synthesis, it allows perfumers to recreate the sensation of cold woods and mineral air without relying on rare or endangered natural materials. In modern perfumery, Hivernal® Neo is prized for building clean, minimalist, and long-lasting structures, pairing beautifully with citrus, musks, marine notes, and incense—a scent of winter light and sculpted wood, precise and quietly powerful.
