About

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.

Scent Profile

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.

Origin

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.

Usage in Perfumery

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.

Notable Perfumers

Perfumers known for using Apple Tree include Olivier Cresp, and Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud.
