Olive Wood

Olive wood, originating from the olive tree (Olea europaea), is a dense, hard hardwood known for its durability and beautiful grain patterns, which often showcase a mix of creamy yellows and contrasting rich, dark brown streaks. It is commonly used in furniture, sculpture, and small decorative items.

The scent profile of olive wood is subtle yet distinct. It typically carries a light, woody fragrance with hints of fruitiness, reflective of the olive fruit itself. This makes it a popular choice not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for the gentle, natural aroma it adds to environments and products. Olive wood can be especially aromatic when freshly cut, becoming more restrained as it ages or is treated.
