According to Fragrantica, Chaparral (Creosote) falls under the group Greens, Herbs and Fougeres with an odor profile of green, resinous, herbal and camphoraceous. Chaparral is an herb from the creosote bush, a desert shrub native to southern areas of the United States and northern regions of Mexico - the Mojave, Sonoran, and Chihuahuan deserts. It's also called Larrea tridentate, chaparral and greasewood. The entire plant emits a distinctive and refreshing odor described by many as "the smell of rain." Historically, creosote bush was used medicinally among Native American tribes and is still a common medicinal agent in Mexico.

- Seasons Fragrance Co. Creosote EDP - Creosote is an ode to the vast and arid landscapes of the Mojave and Sonoran, where the creosote bush flourishes under an endless sky. It opens with the unmistakable scent of desert rain; that rare and electric perfume of water meeting parched ground, threaded through with sagebrush and a sharp green whisper of eucalyptus. Heart notes is the desert itself: creosote bush in full bloom, chaparral resin rising warm from the rocks and sun-baked earth holding the day's heat. It dries down into something deeper still, cedarwood and vetiver weaving through soft amber, warm sand stretching out toward the horizon. Earthy, woodsy, quietly medicinal. Pure desert, bottled.
- Silver Lining Scents Creosote Bush Perfume Oil - All natural perfume oil. The scent of rain in the Sonoran desert using wild-harvested creosote bush (chaparral).
- Tejas Fragrances Desert Rain Chaparral Perfume Oil – The perfumer was inspired to create a fragrance that reminded them of how it smells when they are in west Texas on a rainy day. The plant emits a unique smell from the oil secretions that leak out when it rains, giving a unique kind of fresh rain that is slightly green and mineral smelling. No other plant emits a smell quite like it. Since the essential oil for this bush does not exist, the perfumer has to infuse the plant with fractionated coconut oil for 2-3 weeks in house. Creosote itself is fleeting and does not last on skin very long on its own, so other essential oils have been added for increased depth, projection, and longevity. This is a citrus woody aromatic fragrance with facets of amber and florals. The perfumer believes this scent captures what a creosote bush with flowers blooming would smell like when taking a scenic drive through the desert mountains on a rainy day. With top notes of bergamot and cardamom; middle notes of Texas creosote, rockrose and lavender absolute; and base notes of green Haitian vetiver, Texas cedar and tonka bean.
