[email protected]Animalic / Animal-derived
Original designation: Acide gras de suif ABS DM LA 4066
Tallow fatty-acid absolute inhabits a tactile register of scent: warm wax, soap, skin and a quiet animal creaminess. In a vintage palette it can restore the bodily softness and substantive texture often polished out of modern formulas.

In perfumery vocabulary, Tallow Fatty Acid Absolute MD LA 4066 is associated with fatty, waxy, soapy, skin-like, warm animalic and creamy. 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 soap accords historic realism, enrich add skin-like warmth and introduce round aldehydic florals. 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. Molecular or short-path distillation selects the profile under high vacuum, often refining colour and separating lighter from heavier registers.
A vintage material for contemporary creation
This 34-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.
