Apis mellifera
Beeswax absolute is the scent of a hive after summer: honeyed wax, warm pollen, hay and tobacco wrapped in a soft animalic glow. It does more than sweeten—it rounds a composition until disparate notes seem to share the same golden light.

In perfumery vocabulary, Beeswax Absolute is associated with honeyed, waxy, balsamic, hay-like, tobacco-like and warm floral. Its creative role is a deep base-note material with architectural presence, giving structure and character to complex accords.
In the organ, use it to build give florals honeyed body, enrich round tobacco and hay and introduce add natural warmth to amber. As base note, it offers signature rather than mere theme.
Absolute extraction preserves a broad, saturated portrait of the source. Traditionally, fragrant biomass is first solvent-extracted and the resulting concrete or resinoid is purified with alcohol, giving perfumers a dense material rich in less-volatile facets.
A vintage material for contemporary creation
This 20-year vintage opens a door to another era of perfumery. An uncommon voice from legendary perfumery heritage, made for mature, daring compositions—a scent from the past, ready to inspire something entirely new.
