Oak
The note of oak presents a profoundly woody, dry, and often slightly smoky aroma, reminiscent of aged timber and ancient forests. Its texture is robust and grounding, with a distinct tannic quality that can evoke the sensation of dry leaves or the interior of a well-worn wooden barrel. It possesses a deep, resonant character, often with subtle nuances of green earthiness, particularly when associated with oakmoss, though the pure wood note is drier. Its intensity is moderate to strong, providing a solid backbone to compositions. As it evolves, it tends to soften, revealing more of its warm, comforting facets. It typically functions as a heart or, more commonly, a base note, offering excellent longevity and a steady, unwavering projection that anchors the entire fragrance.
