What does Aglaia odorata oil smell like?
The oil has a delicate sweet-floral aroma with tea-like green top notes, a soft mimosa-neroli floral heart and a gentle woody base — an exquisitely nuanced profile that has earned aglaia the name “Chinese Perfume Tree”.
Scent Pyramid

Why Perfumers Value It
The scent blends the velvet of mimosa, the freshness of neroli and the refinement of green tea — a rare combination rarely found in one natural oil. It works as an elegant heart-note modifier that bridges floral, aldehydic-floral and chypre compositions while adding a distinctly Chinese floral identity.
