Akigalawood

Akigalawood is a captivating fragrance ingredient developed by Givaudan, a leader in the fragrance industry. It is derived through the bioconversion of patchouli, where specific enzymes are used to break down the patchouli molecules, resulting in a distinct and innovative aroma compound. Akigalawood has a unique scent profile that blends the deep, woody richness of agarwood (oud) with the lively, peppery notes of patchouli. This fusion creates a complex fragrance characterized by its warm, spicy, and woody nuances with subtle floral and fruity touches, making it a versatile ingredient used in perfumery to add depth and sophistication to various fragrance compositions.
