In the organ, use it to build dark gourmands, enrich patchouli-chocolate accords and introduce tobacco sweetness. 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.
