Ho Wood
The Pale Breath
Cool linalool light, like camphor seen through gauze.
✶
Ho Wood is the gentler cousin of rosewood — high in linalool, soft and almost watery, with a clean wooden coolness that feels more like air than timber. She is breath rather than substance.
A translucent heart note, she lends compositions an airy spaciousness, the sensation of a window being cracked open in a closed room.
