About

Hot dry wood and heat, not wet air. A constructed scene note built from cedar and other heated woods with a resinous frame. The steam in the name is rendered as heat on timber, not as moisture.

Scent Profile

Sauna smells of hot, dry cedar wood, heat on timber rather than steam or moisture. A resinous frame of warm balsamic woods runs underneath. An earthy note sits in the heart, close to patchouli. A herbal note of clary sage and a warm spice round out the whole thing.

What is ScentArt?

Origin

No material and no plant. Sauna is an abstract note that houses build to place a scene. The Scent Base files it under Molecules, Minerals & Curiosities and describes it as 'hot dry cedar and steam'. Boy Smells builds its Sauna candle from clary sage and elemi on top, patchouli and labdanum in the middle, and steamed woods and palo santo underneath. Both readings are wood-led with a resin frame and neither uses a green or aquatic material.

Usage in Perfumery

Used to set a room rather than to carry a fragrance. The Scent Base says it 'serves as a foundation for woody, aromatic, fresh spicy and warm spicy accords', which puts it under the composition rather than on top of it. Attested on 3 Fragrantica perfumes and no Parfumo perfumes.
