Eurofragance has introduced L’Âme du Bois™, which in French translates into the soul of wood. In place of “soul” one could also say “spirit,” or “essence” of wood. The objective of the R&D experts and perfumers who worked for over three years on this project was to create a new olfactive expression for wood that could provide the building blocks for future fragrance creations.
Fills Gap in Perfumer’s Palette
In addition, they strived to design a woody note that would fill a gap in the Perfumer’s palette. The perfumers were aiming for a woody note that would be less masculine, more genderless in its olfactive profile, and for something that did not really exist on the market.
“
L’Âme du Bois™ is an ingredient that is inclusive and all-embracing of other accords and olfactive notes. Not only does it not overpower them, but it actually highlights and beautifies the characteristics of other notes in the perfume formula,” said Henry van den Heuvel, global creative director and senior perfumer, Eurofragrance.
Used Discarded Sawdust from Wood Mills
The new wood-scented captive did not require any deforesting and fully respects sustainability values. The raw material used for creating L’Âme du Bois ™, is discarded sawdust from wood mills processing a certain species of trees (tree species which we will keep secret for now). This waste material is purified over and over, using physical separation processes, to remove superfluous molecules, while retaining those with desirable characteristics.
The result of this upcycling process had to be the design of an ingredient with an excellent olfactory profile that retained the soul of wood. The experts and perfumers feel that L’Âme du Bois™ surpasses their initial expectations.
The premium characteristics of L’Âme du Bois™ predestine it naturally for prestige Fine Fragrances. Its profile already greatly intrigues the perfumers who have begun to include L’Âme du Bois™ in their creations—with great results.
At this time, L’Âme du Bois™ is intended for use exclusively in the design of prestige fragrances and for all premium product categories, be it fine fragrance, home or personal care.
