How it behaves

Base
Descriptors
green

A soft, dry rosewood-like character with balsamic warmth and a mild sweetness. Pterocarpus (padauk/sandalwood-family) oils have a gentle woody profile — less creamy than true sandalwood, drier and slightly resinous, with a subtle rosy-sweet undertone that emerges over time.AI · claude-opus-4-7
