Hops Concrete

Original designation: Houbline CTE

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.

Extraction & expression

A concrete is the wax-rich first capture of aromatic biomass by solvent extraction. It retains fragrant molecules alongside natural waxes and pigments, creating a tactile, often plush material with unusual body.
