Original designation: Houbline CTE
Humulus lupulus L.
Hops brings bitterness into perfume as texture: green cone, dry hay, malt and resin with a faint fruity hum. It can make familiar woods or aromatics feel cultivated, eccentric and distinctly adult.

In perfumery vocabulary, Hops Concrete is associated with bitter green cone, dried hay, beer malt, herbal resin, tobacco and soft fruit. 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 bitter-green accords, enrich malt and tobacco themes and introduce herbal woods. As base note, it offers signature rather than mere theme.
A concrete is the wax-rich first capture of aromatic biomass by solvent extraction. It retains fragrant molecules alongside natural waxes and pigments, creating a tactile, often plush material with unusual body.
A vintage material for contemporary creation
Preserved within the Maison Orris collection assembled by 2006, this material opens a door to an earlier 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.
