Thai Chalood Bark Absolute - Alyxia Reinwardtii | Perfumery Grade

Part of our Professional Perfumers Range — curated for the discerning natural perfumer seeking exceptional depth and rarity.

Discover this extraordinary Thai bark extract, one of the most sought-after and uncommon aromatic materials available to natural perfumers. Traditionally known throughout Thailand by various regional names including Cha lood, Luut, and Nuut, this precious absolute delivers an authentic aromatic experience that has been treasured across generations.

The olfactory profile unfolds with a beautifully balanced warmth — an inviting sweetness interwoven with woody depth and gentle spice. A delicate coumarin undertone contributes refinement and a soft, lingering finish. The overall impression evokes dense equatorial forests, sun-warmed bark, and time-honoured botanical traditions.

Aromatic Character: A harmonious blend of sweetness and warmth, underpinned by woody richness and subtle spicy facets. The coumarin note provides elegance without overwhelming, making this absolute both grounding and subtly uplifting.

Blending Suggestions: This versatile base note complements a wide array of materials. Pair with oud for opulent oriental compositions, combine with resins like benzoin or labdanum for added depth, or blend with florals such as jasmine or rose to create sophisticated heart-base bridges. Works exceptionally with amber accords, sandalwood, vetiver, and vanilla.
