Extraction & expression

This is a historical specialty grade whose complete designation is part of its character. In the organ it should be approached as a distinctive colour in its own right, an invitation to evaluate its period effect and creative tension. The colourless grade was created for pale formulas where the material’s effect is desired without strong colour contribution.

Technology recorded for this material

  • Decolourisation records treatment to reduce colour. It may also alter composition, so colourlessness is not presented as proof of purity.
  • 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.

Archive age and character

Produced in 2000, this material is now 26 years old. It carries the character of an earlier perfumery era and invites close smelling on the blotter and in formula, where time has made its expression singular.
