   A fascinating scent – this takes me back to my childhood school days sharpening pencils for the teacher. Incredibly clean and about as “fresh” wood as it gets.

   A beautiful bright cedar pencil scent, with a touch of smoke. A lovely deep rich rewarding material.

   This one flew under my radar until recently. The species’ scientific name hints at its potential: Cupressus nootkatensis. Remember Nootkatone, that incredibly long lasting grapefruit note? Turns out it’s a major aromatic component of alaskan yellow cedar (alaskan cypress.)

   Wood 49 strikes a fascinating balance between smoky, dusty, woody pencil shavings facets and that tart grapefruit note. Thing is, that’s smack in the middle of the territory so many smoky/leathery accords are trying to explore.

   That makes wood 49 incredibly useful. It obviously works well as a building block for smoky/leathery/citrus accords. But it’s also incredibly useful as a (complex) modifier: be it to bring more plush woody/smoky tones to grapefruit heavy accords, or to bring more long lasting, tart brightness to woody/smoky accords.

   Do not underestimate its potential.
