At the perfumer’s organ

In the organ, use it to build roasted gourmand accords, enrich bitter counterpoint to vanilla and tonka and introduce earthy depth in coffee, tobacco and cocoa themes. As base note, it offers signature rather than mere theme.

Extraction & expression

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.
