English Oak

English oak, known scientifically as Quercus robur, is a majestic deciduous tree native to Europe and prominently found in England. It holds significant cultural and historical importance in the region, often symbolizing strength and endurance. English oak trees are characterized by their robust trunk, spreading branches, and deeply lobed leaves. They can grow up to 40 meters in height and live for hundreds of years.

The scent profile of English oak is complex and deeply reminiscent of woodland environments. It typically exudes a rich, earthy aroma with woody undertones that evoke a sense of ancient forests. There are also subtle hints of moss and green leaves, which can give it a fresh, outdoorsy feel. Additionally, the oak's bark and wood can impart a slightly tannic scent, similar to that found in wine or aged spirits, due to the tannins naturally present in the wood. This makes English oak a popular choice in perfumery and home fragrances for creating warm, inviting atmospheres that are grounded and calming.
