Shiu Wood

The note unfolds with a clean, soft, and delicately woody aroma, reminiscent of freshly planed lumber, but devoid of any harshness or sharpness. It possesses an inherent freshness, often described as having a gentle, almost airy floral facet, akin to a tender rose petal or the elusive scent of lily-of-the-valley, which arises from its high linalool content. There's a subtle, almost creamy sweetness that underpins its woody core, preventing it from ever becoming dry or austere. Hints of a delicate, green-camphoraceous lift can be detected, providing a luminous, uplifting quality without veering into medicinal territory. Its texture is smooth, polished, and even-keeled, possessing a moderate intensity that never overwhelms. As it evolves, it maintains a harmonious balance between its woody and floral characteristics, typically presenting as a heart note with a good bridge into the lighter base, offering moderate projection and a respectable longevity for its delicate nature.
