Original designation: Castoréum ABS R515
Castor spp.
Castoreum absolute is leather with a pulse: smoke, phenolic warmth, tobacco and a strange dried-fruit softness moving beneath the animalic core. In traces it can make an accord feel less manufactured and more like an object worn for decades.

In perfumery vocabulary, Castoreum Absolute R515 is associated with leathery, smoky, phenolic, animalic, tobacco-like and dried-fruit nuance. 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 build supple leather, enrich animate chypre bases and introduce add smoke to tobacco. 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 24-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.
