Origin

Brazil nut oil is obtained from the seeds of the Bertholletia excelsa tree, native to the Amazon rainforest. The oil is cold-pressed from the nuts after harvesting, and its aromatic components are used in perfumery, often as a specialty or niche ingredient.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use Brazil nut primarily in the heart or base of gourmand and woody compositions to impart a creamy, edible warmth. It blends well with vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood, and praline notes, enhancing the richness and depth of sweet or nutty accords.
