Brazilian rosewood

Brazilian rosewood is a name that designates different species of exotic wood of the species Dalbergia, which grow in the tropics, mostly in India and Brazil. It is a very heavy and veined wood, whose color varies from light brown to deep red. Brazilian rosewood has been used for decades to make high quality furniture and musical instruments. But its fine and pronounced fragrance is also very famous. To integrate it in compositions, it is necessary to reduce its wood in chips to distill it with water vapor. Its essence gives off a rather exotic scent with velvety and woody notes, with floral accents.
