Ash

Ash is a smoky and earthy fragrance note with a dry, slightly bitter scent profile that carries subtle woody and mineral undertones. Its aroma is intense, grounding, and evokes the scent of extinguished fire, adding a mysterious and rugged quality to perfumes. Ash imparts a deep, smoky character and is often used as a base note to create depth and a raw, natural edge in fragrance compositions. It pairs beautifully with woody, resinous, and spicy notes, contributing to fragrances that are bold, earthy, and full of intrigue.

History & Production: In perfumery, ash is not extracted directly but is recreated using synthetic accords or through blending smoky, woody, and earthy notes to evoke the unique scent of ash. Inspired by the aromatic remnants of burned wood, ash notes are valued for their ability to add a deep, smoky dimension that enhances the rawness and complexity of fragrances, evoking a sense of campfires, wilderness, and natural strength.
