Origin

Wattleseed is harvested from various species of Acacia native to Australia. The seeds are typically roasted and ground before being used, with extraction for perfumery most often achieved through solvent or CO2 methods to capture their aromatic profile.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use wattleseed primarily as a heart or base note to impart depth and a distinctive gourmand character. It blends well with vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood, and spice notes, and is valued for adding warmth and complexity to both oriental and gourmand compositions.
