Cedar Moss Absolute Armour LA 3532BIS 50%

Original designation: Mousse cèdre ABS Armour LA 3532BIS 50%

Cedar-moss wording suggests a drier, more timbered moss impression, where bark and pencil-wood facets stand forward from the forest floor. Because the catalogue does not establish a species, the name is treated as an olfactive direction rather than a botanical conclusion.

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.

Technology recorded for this material

  • Alcohol washing dissolves the aromatic fraction in ethanol, then uses chilling and filtration to separate waxes and heavier insolubles. This is a defining route from many concretes or resinoids to absolutes.

These process marks describe selective transformation. They can support a premium grade, but do not alone certify present condition, purity or universal superiority.
