Beautywood features notes of noble Mysore sandalwood, exotic vanilla, warm balsams, aged rosewood, benzoin and a wisp of oud. Imprinted by the sacred geometry and sweet aroma of the perfumer's storm-strewn true cedar flower tincture which (to our knowledge) has never been used in the formulation of a perfume. Such beauty, tenacity and creaminess can only be found in the presence of authentic, natural sandalwood. Beautywood is a perfume.
Created by founder and perfumer Christi Meshell, House of Matriarch's fragrances are made using the highest quality, certified kosher, natural ethanol distilled in Washington (from organic apples and grapes) so they will continue to smell better and better with time. Halal approved.
HOUSE OF MATRIARCH BEAUTYWOOD REVIEWS
Fragrantica: "This starts with woods and a lot of benzoin. The sandalwood and vanilla get stronger over time. It's warm and cozy and not too sweet but has a creaminess or butteriness as well."
Fragrantica: "Exceptionally beautiful, alluring earthy perfume. I felt so grounded, so at peace and so renewed with this scent. I had a small bottle of it, but couldn't get enough of it."
Fragrantica: "A somehow very bright earthy fragrance. I wear it in my hair, and whenever I take it out of a ponytail people say something. Someone once told me I have the best natural smell while I was wearing it, so I understand how people get the body smell aspect. It worked for me tho lol."
Fragrantica: "Beautywood is creamy sandalwood, with light touches of vanilla, balsams, benzoin... It's a very soothing and comforting fragrance. The hint of sweetness feels very natural and effortless. For me it's perfect going into fall and winter and I'll enjoy wearing it again in spring. Since it's 99% natural the longevity isn't great, but the quality is exquisite and worth it. And if you spray it on fabric, it lasts for several days. This is also a perfect fragrance to enjoy before sleep. Sometimes I spray it on the edges of my pillowcase since it's so cozy. I'd say Beautywood is the sister to Coco Blanc. Coco Blanc has more vanilla and sweetness."
Fragrantica: "In the opening I have nice whiffs of cedar and extra dry rosewood, followed by warm amber resins with benzoin and an oud a medicinal thread. On the skin I get fruity scents of ylang and oily vanilla, all on a creamy carpet of sandalwood. It has a more meditative, balsamic and relaxing start then gourmand with the cedar tincture that keeps the party alive. There is little else to add because when the sandal dries, it turns from cream to butter and starts a banquet for cannibals. Comfortable and gentle warm."
