Summary
Perfumes accompany people since prehistoric times. Their structure, materials and methods of obtaining them are changing. Components derived from wood are less known than others. It is obviously because of the degree of difficulty of obtaining essential oils from wood, their low efficiency and hence costs. For this reason, perfume containing natural wood oils are very luxurious and thus the most expensive.

Key words: agarwood, sandalwood, guaiacum, massoia, muhuhu, hinoki, fig tree, rosewood
