About

Z11™ HD is a synthetic woody note with a characteristically dry, cedar-like scent, often described as having a clean, slightly spicy, and mineral edge. It imparts a modern, transparent woodiness to fragrances and is valued for its long-lasting and diffusive qualities. Used to enhance the structure and depth of contemporary woody compositions, it can also evoke a sense of polished, elegant woods.

Scent Profile

Z11™ HD has a dry, woody scent profile reminiscent of cedar shavings, with a clean, mineral undertone and subtle spicy facets. It is notably transparent and airy, lacking the sweetness or creaminess of some other woody notes. Over time, it maintains its crisp, polished wood character with a persistent, diffusive quality.
