Extractions & Uses

Extractions & Uses

Extraction process :

The rosewood is a tree of Amazonia and Guyana that can reach several tens of meters high. It is grown for its high Linalool content. It is one of the only pink trees in the Amazon rainforest.
In culture, the tree is cut down to shop off the trunk and crush it before extraction. The extraction is done by hydro-distilling the dry wood. At the end of the process, the essential oil of rosewood is collected in an essencier by decantation of the water.
Its extraction yield is 1%.
This raw material is rarely used as such and is submitted to another distillation to isolate Linalool.

Uses in perfumery :

Used in pink notes for a natural smell, and in spicy and zesty notes.

Stability :

The terpenes identified in this raw material can polymerize when they are oxidized
