Rosewood Oil (Bois de Rose) – Pure Aniba rosaeodora, Steam Distilled at Our India Factory
Rosewood Oil — known in the French perfumery tradition as Bois de Rose — is one of those materials that belongs in a different category from most essential oils. It is not as immediately dramatic as rose or jasmine. It does not announce itself the moment it enters a room. What it does instead is something more subtle and arguably more valuable — it makes everything around it smell better. That quality, combined with its warm, woody, gently floral character and its extraordinary versatility, has made it a foundational ingredient in fine fragrance for well over a century.
We manufacture this oil ourselves, at our own factory in India. Steam distilled from the wood of Aniba rosaeodora, every batch comes with full COA, MSDS, and SDS documentation. Direct from our factory to you, with no reseller in between.
The Scent Profile
Rosewood Oil opens with a soft, warm, woody quality — clean and slightly sweet, with a gentle floral undertone from its high linalool content that gives it a rosy character without ever smelling overtly like a flower. It is simultaneously woody and floral, warm and fresh — a combination that makes it one of the most versatile blending materials in natural perfumery. The drydown is smooth, long-lasting, and deeply pleasing — the kind of scent that stays quietly on skin for hours without ever becoming intrusive.
Perfumers have described it as the peacemaker of the palette — it smooths rough edges, bridges difficult combinations, and adds a warmth and elegance that very few single materials can provide.
The Color
Pure Rosewood Oil is pale yellow to almost colorless — a clean, light appearance that reflects the quality of the wood and the care taken in distillation. This natural pale color confirms the oil has been correctly processed without over-heating or adulteration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Rosewood Oil (Bois de Rose)?
Rosewood Oil — Bois de Rose in the French perfumery tradition — is steam distilled from the wood of Aniba rosaeodora. Its warm, woody, gently floral scent with high linalool content has made it a foundational ingredient in fine fragrance for over a century. It is equally valued in luxury skincare for its skin-regenerating and balancing properties.
What does it smell like?
Soft, warm, and woody — with a gentle floral undertone that is rosy in character without ever smelling overtly like a flower. Clean, smooth, and versatile. The drydown is long-lasting and deeply elegant. Perfumers call it the peacemaker of the palette — it smooths rough edges and makes everything around it smell better.
How is it different from Rose Essential Oil?
Very different. Rosewood comes from wood — woody, warm, and subtly floral. Rose oil comes from petals — purely and intensely floral. They share a linalool-driven warmth but are completely distinct materials. Rosewood is more subtle, far more affordable, and more versatile in blending.
