Understanding the material
IFF identifies twigs and leaves for its French cypress oil and describes pine-like, leafy and peppery facets over a woody-resinous background. A wood-like smell can therefore come from material that is not distilled from the trunk. This helps explain why plant part and olfactory family are separate filters in the atlas.
Compare cypress with Atlas cedarwood. Does the difference feel like green foliage versus warmer wood, or does the composition blur that boundary?
