Compiled from the Note Identification Project Thread:
Rosewood (EO, origin unknown)--3 drops on a cotton, wafted
Lemony, oily, woody and a little herbal, almost like lavender flowers. After several hours, the scent hollows out, and it seems much more woody at this point. Maybe like fresh wood which has been polished with lemongrass oil, lol.
Rosewood - Oh, I love rosewood. I adore rosewood. The rosy, lemony aroma of expensive, polished furniture sends me into ecstasy.
Rosewood/Bois de Rose, origin unknown, 10% dilution in ethanol: bright aromatic wood, a little spicy,, at this concentration it is almost licorice-y.
Rosewood - 10%: rosewood nice rosy but the alcohol overwhelms my nose
Rosewood - Poor rosewood, going extinct from over-harvesting, and I can see why. It is being killed for its beauty, like elephant's ivory and Mysore sandalwood. I hope people come to their senses and start to cultivate this stuff. It's dire situation is the only thing that stops me from buying vats of it. How beautiful it is. Lemony, but more subtle and long-lasting than lemon peel essential oil. Woody like sandalwood. No harshness whatsoever, in contrast to lemongrass. It smells like an expensive furniture store that has been recently dusted with a little Pledge. It smells like polished mahogany wood. It is absolutely breathtaking. I wait for the day when I can ethically buy this beautiful substance.
