Origin

Buddha Wood is derived from the heartwood of Eremophila mitchellii, a small tree native to arid regions of Australia. The essential oil is typically obtained through steam distillation of the wood, which yields a viscous, amber-hued oil prized in perfumery.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use Buddha Wood primarily as a base note, where its longevity and depth anchor compositions. It blends well with other woods, resins, and smoky or leathery accords, and is often featured in woody, oriental, and niche fragrances to impart a unique, contemplative character.
