‘With a bitter top note of priprioca, an aromatic pinto that grows along the waterways of tropical Africa, Gabon evokes the fragrant scents of ebony, a hard and precious wood with intense woody and pleasantly spicy notes. Gabon is a refined and decisive fragrance, certainly perfect for those who like to leave their mark. Warm and full of character, woody perfumes are characterized by musky, earthy and resinous notes. Typical fragrances of this family include sandalwood, pine, patchouli, vetiver and cedar. Gaboon ebony, also known as black ebony or Gaboon, is one of the most popular and valuable exotic woods on the market today. Particularly dense and heavy, Gaboon ebony is an elegant black color with occasional white or light brown veins. When heated, ebony wood gives off a pleasant sweet and spicy scent reminiscent of vanilla.’ – Optico
