Note Profile
Apple tree is a fantasy note, not a material. No apple wood is distilled for perfumery, so the effect is built synthetically on fruitwood facets of materials like Timbersilk and Cashmeran. What it delivers is a fruity-woodiness: a soft, warm, lightly sweet wood carrying an echo of ripe apple.
Fruity first: the gentle sweetness of a ripe apple. Under it a dry woodiness and a soft creamy-woody warmth, softer and less resinous than cedarwood. A light sweetness runs through both, and a subtle earthiness grounds the base.
Read off the wheel, not a label applied to the note.

Apple tree wood is not commercially distilled and the scent is recreated synthetically, so there is no species, organ or extraction behind the note. Perfumers reconstruct it as an accord on Timbersilk or Cashmeran.
A base note used to anchor fruit-forward tops by echoing their sweetness in a drier, woodier register. It is chosen when cedarwood would be too resinous and birch too camphoric.
Perfumers known for using Apple Tree include
Olivier Cresp, and Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud
