Hops Absolute

Original designation: Houbline ABS

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.

At the perfumer’s organ

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.

  • bitter-green accords
  • malt and tobacco themes
  • herbal woods
  • experimental fougères

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.
