Peruvian Rosewood offers a quiet, luminous energy that restores inner harmony and steadies the heart. With its smooth, lightly floral character, it uplifts the spirit without overstimulating the system. Ideal for those needing gentle recalibration after stress, grief, or depletion.
It has a long-held reputation among energy workers and ceremonialists for its subtle yet clear frequency, often described as a bridge between grounded presence and soft heart opening. In this way, it supports spiritual practitioners, healers, and sensitives in remaining anchored while engaging with subtle realms.
In Shipibo ceremonial architecture, large Rosewood trunks are sometimes used as structural centreposts, anchoring the space both physically and energetically. These sacred “pillars” symbolise the tree of life and are said to support the vertical connection between the earth and sky, body and spirit. In energetic terms, working with rosewood can similarly act as a stabilising force within spiritual practice, creating a held, neutral field in which deeper work may unfold.

Soft, floral-woodsy, and subtly rosy, Peruvian Rosewood offers a rare harmony between brightness and depth. Its aroma carries a smooth, slightly spicy top note that gently unfolds into a tender heart of powdered wood, fresh floral nuance, and a delicate balsamic sweetness.
It is a scent of grace light, grounding, and quietly radiant often chosen for its ability to bring emotional clarity and energetic ease. Ideal for rituals of renewal, rosewood’s scent is deeply restorative and beautifully complex.
Peruvian Rosewood was once a prized ingredient in classical French perfumery, beloved for its versatility and tenacity as a middle note. Its subtle floral tone and creamy woodiness made it an elegant bridge between citrus top notes and heavier base resins or musks. Though less commonly used today due to conservation efforts, ethically sourced rosewood remains a cherished aromatic for natural perfumers seeking sophistication and softness without heaviness.
At Scent Molecule, our wildcrafted Peruvian rosewood is distilled in small batches from sustainably managed trees and selected for both olfactory purity and energetic integrity.
