Teak

Teak is a distinguished woody note with a dry, warm, and subtly leathery character. It smells like sun-bleached deck boards on a sailing yacht or a beautifully aged garden bench. There is a refined, almost mineral dryness to it, complemented by faint hints of rubber, tobacco leaf, and a golden, honeyed sweetness that emerges as the scent develops. Compared to sandalwood's creaminess or cedar's sharpness, teak occupies a unique middle ground: elegant, understated, and quietly confident.
