Mahogany

Mahogany is a hardwood derived from several different tree species, primarily from the Swietenia genus, which includes varieties such as Swietenia macrophylla. This wood is highly valued for its beauty, durability, and color, which ranges from a lighter pinkish-brown to a darker reddish-brown that deepens over time.

The scent profile of mahogany wood is subtle yet distinctly pleasant, characterized by a rich, warm, and slightly earthy aroma. It is often described as having a sweet, woody scent that hints at notes of vanilla and spices, making it a popular choice in the crafting of luxury furniture and interior woodwork. The comforting and refined fragrance of mahogany is also a favorite in aromatherapy and scented products, such as candles and essential oils, where it is used to invoke a sense of calm and sophistication. Mahogany's elegant aroma enhances its perception as a premium, classic material in both functional and decorative capacities.
