1 / 2: Front presentationIn perfumery vocabulary, Costus Absolute Resinoid is associated with rooty, animalic, leathery, fatty, woody and violet-like. Its creative role is a deep base-note material with architectural presence, giving structure and character to complex accords.
This designation sits between absolute and resinoid practice: a concentrated solvent extract with the full body of dry botanical or resinous matter and the polish of subsequent purification.
Archive age and character
Produced in 2005, this material is now 21 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.
