At the end of the Seven Years' War (1756–63), the mahogany trade began to change significantly. During the occupation of Havana by British forces between August 1762 and July 1763, quantities of Cuban or Havanna mahogany were sent to Britain, and after the city was restored to Spain in 1763, Cuba continued to export small quantities, mostly to ports on the north coast of Jamaica, from where it went to Britain. [33] However, this mahogany was regarded as inferior to the Jamaican variety, and the trade remained sporadic until the 19th century. In terms of maintenance and restoration, mahogany can require a lot more preparation (usually multiple passes of sanding as well as staining) compared to teak wood. Water stains can also occur more in mahogany which is why regular maintenance is needed if you have mahogany furniture. Species of Swietenia cross-breed readily when they grow in proximity; the hybrid between S.mahagoni and S.macrophylla is widely planted for its timber. Cedar wood and oak wood intertwine with warm mahogany to create the perfect masculine scent for any season. Topped with hints of clean lavender and the rosy nuances of geranium, this perfect duplication has plenty of depth and strength for both candle and skin care applications. This is a fragrance that both men and women can't get enough of. Inspired by the BBW® scent.* Mahogany has a reddish brown color and it also changes its color as the wood ages. Mahogany wood changes its color when it is exposed to high temperatures and to both natural and artificial light. It does fade in the sun and it can also turn into a lighter wood that has a greyish tinge to it. Mahogany can also darken over time but is not super dark.Mahogany is known for its straight, fine grain and durability, making it a popular choice for fine furniture, boat construction, and musical instruments. However, the over-harvesting of mahogany and environmental concerns have led to a decrease in its use. In terms of quantity, the most significant new addition to the mahogany trade was Honduras mahogany, also called 'baywood', after the Bay of Honduras. British settlers had been active in southern Yucatan since the beginning of the 18th century, despite the opposition of the Spanish, who claimed sovereignty over all of Central America. Cedarwood: Cedarwood has a warm, woody aroma that is similar to mahogany teakwood, with hints of spice and a touch of sweetness. Both scents are grounding and have a calming effect, making them ideal for use in candles, perfumes, and personal care products. Mahogany is wood from any of three tree species: Honduran or big-leaf mahogany ( Swietenia macrophylla), West Indian or Cuban mahogany ( Swietenia mahagoni), and Swietenia humilis.

Mahogany is a valuable lumber used for paneling, furniture, boats, musical instruments, and other items. The United States is the leading importer of mahogany, while Peru is the largest exporter. Mahogany is the national tree of the Dominican Republic and Belize.
