About

Lotus Wood is a woody accord named in perfume note lists. It is not a single raw material. It entered note lists with Tom Ford Black Orchid in 2006, as a heart note under dark florals and fruit. It gives a soft woody body to oriental florals.

Scent Profile

Lotus Wood reads as a soft, pale wood inside a dark floral heart. It is quiet rather than smoky or resinous. A faint watery-floral hint of lotus may sit on top. In finished perfumes wearers find the wood hard to pick out.
