Medicine and memory, antiseptic and sacred, uplifting and elemental. Crisp, cool, and refreshing, eucalyptus evokes the feeling of renewal and clarity. The plant’s invigorating aroma, reminiscent of brisk forest air and clean rainfall, is both revitalizing and grounding.

A remarkably versatile and uplifting note, eucalyptus scent brings an unmistakable character to any fragrance blend.

Eucalyptus Tree

Eucalyptus oil is derived from the leaves of the eucalyptus tree—a fast-growing evergreen native to Australia and now cultivated in temperate regions around the world like China and Brazil. To produce eucalyptus fragrance, the tree’s aromatic leaves and stems are removed, chopped and then steam-distilled to extract the potent essential oil. With over 700 species, eucalyptus belongs to the myrtle family, sharing botanical ties with other fragrant plants like tea tree and clove.

Iconically Australian, the Eucalyptus tree is by far the most common forest tree in Australia. The prolific species covers about 77% of its total native forest area. The trees are essential to the conservation of Australia’s rich biodiversity, supporting forest-dwelling and dependent flora and fauna. This notably includes endangered species and species endemic to Australia, like the beloved koala, who mainly eats eucalyptus leaves.

Historical Uses

Historically, Australian indigenous populations had many uses for the eucalyptus tree. From honing weaponry to spiritual cleansing to healing tea, both the wood and the leaves were utilized by aboriginal tribes.

Oil from the eucalyptus tree is now used worldwide for its medicinal properties. The oil has antiseptic qualities, making it a natural ingredient to clean and heal wounds. Its decongestant properties help clear colds when inhaled and it can even be used in ointments as an anti-inflammatory or insect repellant. Studies have found eucalyptus oil to be effective against respiratory pathogens, healing lung infections such a tuberculosis when used in traditional medicine.

In aromatherapy, its benefits are widely acknowledged: eucalyptus is known to support respiratory health, enhance mental clarity, and reduce feelings of fatigue and anxiety. Its clean and sharp aroma has a purifying quality, which is why it’s frequently diffused in wellness spaces and used in personal rituals to restore balance and energy. While eucalyptus has been celebrated for its use in natural medicine, wellness rituals, and personal care products for centuries, its role in fragrance has steadily grown.

What Does Eucalyptus Smell Like?

Like peppermint woven into dry paper, eucalyptus smells like nature’s apothecary. The scent of eucalyptus is cool, camphorous, and subtly sweet, making it a favorite in modern perfumery and interior scenting for its clean and rejuvenating character. Often used as a top or middle note in compositions, eucalyptus adds a bright, crisp layer that pairs beautifully with woody, citrus, and herbal accords.

Whether it’s the first inhale of a spa treatment or the subtle freshness in a luxury hotel lobby, eucalyptus offers a sensory experience that is both refreshing and comforting—making it a perennial favorite for wellness and beyond.

Within the category of woody fragrances, there are few scents as rich and enchanting as sandalwood. Often associated with the serene beauty of ancient forests and sacred rituals, sandalwood fragrance offers a transformative experience, evoking a sense of calm sophistication and comforting warmth. Sandalwood oil is showcased in Air Aroma’s best selling Sandalwood Gold scent, as well as Moonshot, and Pomelo Pulp premium library scents. Signature fragrances for Canada Goose, Four Seasons Jackson Hole, and Jaguar Land Rover, also feature the note. Sandalwood’s warm, earthy scent imbues the feeling of timeless luxury when present in a blend. Overall, sandalwood has a floral woodiness that lends itself towards being an extremely versatile and delicious base note.

Sandalwood raw material fragrance

The Sandalwood Tree

Sandalwood refers to a several species of trees within the genus Santalum. These trees share the characteristics of having heavy, fine-grained wood that gives off a lavish aromatic scent. When sandalwood as we know it is discussed, it is most often in reference to the varietal called true sandalwood, or white sandalwood (Santalum Album). This type of tree is native to India, and can be found distributed throughout Southeast Asia, Australia, and the Islands of the South Pacific. The tree itself is a semi-parasitic varietal, growing from the roots of other tree species and relying on its host for water and nutrients.

White Sandalwood is prized for its fragrant wood which, of the many sandalwood varieties, holds the highest concentration of alpha-santalol and beta-santalol, the chemical compounds responsible for the plant’s distinctive scent and medicinal properties. Sandalwood is often harvested faster than it can be replenished as the trees are slow growing, taking about 30 years to reach an economically useful thickness. In today’s market, pure sandalwood can be quite expensive as demand surpasses supply. It is commonly considered one of the priciest woods in the world.

Both the wood and the roots of the tree contain a yellow, aromatic oil which can be distilled for usage. The raw sandalwood oil that perfumers use in their blends is obtained through the process of steam distillation. This practice begins with the heartwood and roots being ground into powder. The output is then processed in distillation stills, which are injected with steam. As condensation is produced, the oil is separated from water and purified for final use.

Uses in History

Throughout time, sandalwood has been revered for its fragrant wood and healing properties. The trees have been cultivated since antiquity for their heartwood, which plays a major role in many funeral ceremonies and religious rites. For example, in Buddhism, sandalwood is used as incense and burnt during prayer and meditation to purvey its calming properties. Ancient Egyptians imported sandalwood for the process of embalming and ritual burning as an offering to their Gods.

Modern homeopathic health practitioners continue to utilize sandalwood. The wood’s chemical properties make it a powerful antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial agent, lending it to uses such as wound healing, aiding in digestion, and calming skin conditions. Sandalwood is also used in the common practice of aromatherapy. It has been found to aid relaxation and sleep by lowering blood pressure and cortisol levels.

Aside from ceremonial and medicinal uses, sandalwood has been used in consumer goods for thousands of years. While the wood of sandalwood trees has been used to produce aromatic ornamental pieces, furniture, fans and more, contemporarily, it is most often consumed in the form of fragrance.

Beginning in early Arabic and Indian perfumery, sandalwood is still one of the most beloved fragrance notes in perfumery today.  Known for its woody, balsamic scent, sandalwood delivers a lasting effect that is synonymous with exotic luxury. The oil itself displays fixative properties in fragrance, meaning it can stabilize and increase the longevity of a perfume. This helps to fix notes of a blend which would otherwise evaporate and fade quickly.

Understanding Fragrance: A Valuable Skill

The ability to discern and appreciate various fragrances is a learned skill and one that anybody can practice to enrich their sensory skills or better comprehend fragrances. Although not strictly mathematical, as describing fragrance still requires a bit of imagination, tools like Michael Edwards’ Fragrance Wheel prove to be invaluable.  While scent can be subjective, there are usually general ideas or themes that one can pick up on. Categorizing and naming fragrance components helps to make associations between different fragrances and understand their origin and character with greater context. The ability to discern between various fragrances can grow stronger over time with practice and deepen one’s relationship to the sensory world overall.

The Fragrance Wheel

The fragrance wheel was developed by perfumer Michael Edwards in 1983. Much like a color wheel, it groups categories together in a way that allows for overlap and gradual variances. Fragrance families or olfactive groups are based on aromatic characteristics commonly found across all fragrances. The wheel is useful in that it provides a visual representation of the olfactive spectrum.

The Fragrance Wheel uses four major scent categories: floral, oriental, woody, and fresh. Each category then has subgroups that further define these characteristics based on aromatic variances. These include floral oriental, soft oriental, woody oriental, mossy woods, dry woods, aromatic, citrus, water, green, and fruity.

Michael Edwards Fragrance Wheel

The Fragrance Families

Floral

Floral fragrances encompass a beautiful bouquet of floral style scents, from delicate rose to exotic jasmine, and sweet strong tuberose that evoke elegance and femininity. Floral fragrances with powdery notes can referred to as soft floral, while sweet, spicier fragrances with notes like orange blossom falling under the subcategory floral oriental.

Find verdant floral in Ginger Flower, floral citrus in Zuri and Zesty White Tea, and floral oriental in Spice Trader.

Oriental

As floral notes move into oriental, there is a noticeable depth and complexity that appears in this style. Indulgent and luxurious, the oriental family includes notes of amber and incense in soft oriental, resins, and woodier notes like sandalwood and patchouli in woody oriental.

Explore Amber Grand, Thé Vert Oriental, and Spice Trader in Oriental scent styles.

Woody

Scent notes described as woody are often very important in the overall composition of a fragrance, as these stronger base notes help build the foundation for the scent and allow the notes to work together seamlessly. Aromatic woods include the root Vetiver, while mossy woods include notes of oakmoss. Dry woods include cedarwood and leather. Earthy, warm and sophisticated, woody notes play a prominent role in popular scent compositions.

Smell Cedar Mood, Havana, Sandalwood Gold, and Saffron Suede as some of our favorite woody styles.

Fresh  

Refreshing and clean, fresh notes offer a lightness that is found within various subcategories – often in citrus like bergamot and lemon, aquatic styles in marine notes, fruity in notes like berries, green in grass and botanical notes, and aromatic or herbal notes including lavender, mint and rosemary. Many fresh fragrances reiterate invigorating experiences in nature, like fresh morning mists or a walk along the seashore.

Discover fresh styles in Illuminate, White Tea Thyme, Sunkissed, and Iron Bark.

Identifying Fragrance Blotter Stick

Using the Fragrance Wheel

View the wheel as you’re smelling fragrances to build the associations and start identifying fragrance families. Let the wheel be your guide and pinpoint the prominent notes in a fragrance composition, tracing their placement on the wheel. By understanding the primary olfactive families and their subgroups, you can decipher the composition of a scent and appreciate its nuanced character.

In the end, it’s not just about smelling the fragrance; it’s about experiencing the emotions, memories, and dreams it evokes. Just as a symphony transcends the individual music notes on a page, a fragrance exceeds the mere combination of its notes.

As the days grow longer and April showers cede fresh blooms, there is one scent that perfectly captures the essence of springtime: vetiver. With its earthy and invigorating aroma, vetiver evokes the feeling of a new beginning and the promise of warmer days ahead. Often associated with the likes of freshly cut grass, damp soil, and springtime dew, vetiver is uniquely distinct and nostalgic to the nose. Showcased in Air Aroma’s Vetiver Rain premium library scent, as well as signature fragrances for Everlane, Four Seasons New York Downtown, and Tracy Anderson, vetiver scent has a sweet earthiness that lends itself towards being a versatile and interesting base note.

Vetiver Grass

The vetiver scent, derived from the roots of a perennial grass native primarily to India and grown in tropical climates such as Haiti and Indonesia, has a long and celebrated history in the world of fragrance. The fragrance itself is distilled in a process that first involves the aging of vetiver roots. The roots are then  soaked in water until a highly concentrated oil is released and skimmed from the surface. This fragrant oil can then be utilized for its many properties. The vetiver plant resides within the same family as other aromatic grasses also used for essential oils, including the very popular lemongrass and citronella plants.

Vetiver Oil Uses

While used in its cultivation for the production of woven goods, vetiver’s core consumption is in its oil state. Known for its deep, earthy aroma, vetiver oil has been used for centuries in perfumery and aromatherapy.

In fragrance, vetiver is traditionally used in men’s cologne. The verdant, woody, and raw note tends to be considered more on the masculine end of the spectrum. However, its use is more widespread than would be assumed. As a base note, vetiver is an extremely popular addition to many western perfumes due to its fixative properties. Meaning, when incorporated into a blend, vetiver can help to make scents last longer to the nose. Overall, the scent is extremely versatile, lending a sophisticated and comforting dimension to any blend.

Recognized for its grounding and calming properties, vetiver has also been known to be utilized in the practice of aromatherapy. According to studies done on the subject, inhalation can improve alertness, reduce mental fatigue, and feelings of anxiety. Studies have also gone so far to show that when diffused during sleep, vetiver may help breathing issues by increasing the quality of one’s exhalation and improving overall quality of sleep.

Within the wide collection of fragrance notes, there are few scents as luscious and captivating as fig. Often associated with the dreamy elegance of the Mediterranean, fig fragrance offers a transformative experience to a romantic sun-drenched enclave, or a warm and sensual feeling. Present in Air Aroma’s Fig Essence fragrance and signature fragrances for Hayes Mansion Curio Hotel, The Dagny, and The Time New York, the scent note has a layered and juicy quality that works well amongst other woody, floral, and fruit notes. Read below for more insight into fig’s history and origins, and why it continues to be a favorite in the world of fragrance.

The Fig Tree

Scientifically identified as Ficus Carica, the fig tree is native to the Mediterranean region and has been cultivated for thousands of years. Yielding hundreds to thousands of fruits in a single growing season, its fruits are a delicious culinary delight that bear a distinctive fragrance which varies throughout the tree’s life cycle. Fig fragrance captures the essence of the entire fig tree, from its fresh, hardy green leaves to the ripe, sweet violet fruit and even the earthy, woody notes of the tree’s bark.

 Fig Tree

Fig History

Fig trees could have been the first domesticated plant of the Neolithic Revolution, which dates to almost 12,000 years ago. This is a time period in which humans began cultivating plants, breeding animals for food, and forming permanent settlements, which was an incredibly important period of change. So it can be said that figs were among the first fruits to be cultivated by humans!

Fig fragrance’s rich history includes ancient Greeks and Romans, who revered the fig tree both for its fruit and aromatic leaves. They used fig leaves to create wreaths and garlands, infusing their festivities with a natural green scent.

Referenced in religious texts like the book of Genesis, the Ficus Carica trees provided the fig leaves worn by Adam and Eve after eating forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden.

What Does Fig Smell Like?

Fig fragrance is incredibly versatile, exuding fresh and green qualities and warm and woody notes simultaneously. On top of that, it has a fruity note that’s juicy sweet while remaining lush and sophisticated. Because of this, it’s an accessible fragrance tailored to different preferences, with a natural, inviting quality. The milky sweet or lactonic characteristic is reminiscent of coconut or milky butter. The emotional resonance of fig conjures warm, powerful connections of vivid images like biting into a fresh fig or meandering through Mediterranean hills.

Air Aroma Fig Essence Aroma Oil

Air Aroma’s Fig Essence Fragrance

Fruity, Woody, Green

Fig Sap, Coriander, Fig, Violet, Peach, Cyclamen, Fig Wood, Cedar Wood, Sandalwood

A forbidden romance meandering over rocky hills of the sea. Bells ringing in the distance and a stone overlook perched above fig trees. The buzz of hummingbirds moving through gardens to arrive at a dropped piece of fig fruit, severed open and perfuming the sky. Sultry juiciness tempts for a bite from a quail or a lover’s lips. A dark sweetness.

Fig Fruit Fragrance

Fig Essence

Used in hotels like Casa Laguna and Walker Hotel Tribeca, and luxury office receptions like Ten Grand, Fig Essence is a luxurious aroma oil that elevates hotels, offices, homes, and retail spaces.

Fig fragrance is a timeless and enchanting choice for those who appreciate the natural beauty and complexity of the historic fruit. Explore the beauty of Fig in Air Aroma’s fig essence fragrance, or design a custom signature scent inspired by the many facets of Fig.

The days are getting cooler and the nights are becoming longer. A dazzling color pallet of amber, red and yellow blankets the streets as the crunchy tree leaves start to shed. A chill begins to overwhelm the morning air and the intimate crackling sound of the fireplace becomes habitual of those brisk evenings. Fall fragrances fill the air as a sense of comfort and nostalgia emerges.

fall foliage

Fall Fragrances in Nature

Delicate and cozy indoor aromas become more desired as the crisp, sharp-edged scents of Autumn start enveloping outdoors. Pleasurable memories are associated with the ever-changing seasons and the scents we endure for each. Although, why is the aroma of Autumn loved so heavily? To one’s surprise, the dominant earthy scent of Autumn is shaped from dying and rotting leaves and trees. Saying this, the decay triggers the sugars and organic compounds to break down, creating and releasing a classic musky-sweet smell. The drop in air temperature and humidity also allows those natural scents of mother earth shine through beautifully and flawlessly.

The deep richness of fall fragrances is something quite special. They encourage a sense of comfort and indulgence while also stimulating happiness and heartfelt memories – flashbacks to childhood kicking around piles of fallen leaves or baking sweet treats on those cooler days. The power of fragrance is limitless and can especially add an extra dose of ambience into homes when desired.

A beautifully sweet and effervescent blossom of delicate yellow pom pom petals lends itself to a sweet honeyed floral aroma of headiness. Mimosa, Acacia, or Cassie all refer to the same plant, Acacia Dealbata, which is a pod bearing shrub. Native to Australia and popular in the perfume capital Grasse of France, the mimosa tree has been used for centuries in perfumery, ritual, and décor.

Mimosa Components

Its bark and roots were first used in making incense and had a connection to immortality and resurrection. In fact, Egyptian mythology connected the acacia tree with the tree of life. This was described in the Myth of Osiris and Isis. Other uses have included edible seeds and fruit used in cuisines and drinks, timber for making furniture, and a gum produced by the bark that works as a stabilizer for printing and ink.

The distinctly positive yellow puffs are what make the mimosa most memorable, though. The Mimosa is like a burst of delight in winter, being one of the few flowering species in the winter. Its masses of fragrant yellow flowers continue to blossom through January and February; its full blossom season is from November to March. Along with the hyacinth, it is one of the rare flowers to bloom in the winter.

A Journey to France

It was imported from Australia to France around 1850, and soon spread throughout the French Riviera, contributing to dreamy landscapes of Cote D’Azur. France developed a close relationship with the flower, using it in perfumery for its delicate violet like scent, and even including them in regular celebratory decorations as a sign of good luck and joy, a positive message that enhanced events like parades and carnivals. On the Mediterranean coast there is a scenic route called La Route des Mimosas, filled with elegant yellow blossoming trees.

Mimosa Fragrance

In perfumery, Mimosa is used as a heart note. With its dry and powdery floral qualities, it can bring aspects of other notes to light and provide balance. The scent is as lovely and delicate as the blossoms, exuding a grace and suppleness that is quite charming. Almost clean linen like, it’s innocently joyful, like the childhood nostalgia of playing in the yard on a late summer afternoon. The scent originates from the entire flower, incorporating the green cucumber aspects of the leaves and stems with the creaminess and honeyed traits of the tiny silky flowers.

Moonshot Scent

The tiny colorful poufs emanate elegance and charm, capturing the beauty of a fleeting positive moment. Mimosa reminds us of the subtleties of being alive and the joy found in nature. Like the movement of a gentle breeze, it arrives and leaves with grace, only to return again.

Smell Mimosa in Air Aroma’s fragrance, Moonshot.

Looking to capture that warm, cozy holiday feeling? Air Aroma offers a range of holiday fragrances for the season, including woody, sweet, and limited-edition fragrances. A holiday fragrance can bring joy and nostalgia to your home or business by creating a pleasant atmosphere and reminding of holiday memories.

Holiday Tree

Our limited-edition Holiday Tree is offered through direct inquiry only and is the quintessential holiday fragrance with notes of pine needle, nutmeg, chestnut, and holly berry. Fresh evergreen notes of pine needle evoke the crisp conifer sparkles of a fresh pine tree in the winter. Herbal, outdoorsy, and cozy, the silver green note instantly reminds of a Christmas Tree or walk in the winter woods. Nutmeg is a warm peppery spice that adds an herbal sweet element, reminiscent of baked goods and eggnog. As roasted chestnuts fill the air, images of warm crackling fires come to mind. Holly berry brings a subtle fruity element with scents of frosted berries, cedar and fir.
