Cade

Cade is a powerful woody fragrance note with a dark, smoky, and slightly leathery character. Its scent evokes burnt wood, tar, and dry forest nuances. Often used in small amounts, cade adds intensity, depth, and a rugged smoky accent that enriches leather, woody, and masculine fragrance compositions.

Chemistry and Molecular Structure

The scent of cade is produced by a complex mixture of aromatic compounds such as phenols, guaiacol, and cresols. These molecules contain aromatic rings and hydroxyl groups that generate the characteristic smoky, tar-like, and leathery aroma. Their stable molecular structures contribute to the intense and long-lasting character of cade in perfumery.
