How the layers join

Origin

This material is sourced from the heartwood of the Pyrus communis tree, native to Europe and Western Asia. The wood is typically obtained as a byproduct from orchards or woodworking, then processed for use in perfumery through dry distillation or extraction.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use pear tree wood primarily in the heart or base of a fragrance to impart smoothness and a subtle fruity-woody nuance. It blends well with other woods, musks, and soft florals, and is valued for adding gentle depth to both woody and fruity-woody accords.
