The aroma of Cypress trees creates part of the light breezy smell in a Mediterranean forest. The absolute, which is an uncommon perfumery raw material, lasts longer than the more common essential oil (which we also stock). It's deep, woody and mossy.
Very thick dark green, gum like liquid. Heating in a hot water bath is advised (a bowl of hot water from the kettle will do) before weighing out with a spatula (this can be cleaned afterwards with Perfumer's alcohol).

Edit: I stand corrected. The off-note I had described is actually how cypress trees smell after rain. I conclude that this absolute is just very realistic.
Original review: It has nice qualities that evoke deep, permanently shaded, thick and damp reaches of the forest, and it does dry down to a more agreeable version of itself, however, at least to my nose, at 10% dilution it still has a very clear and unpleasant off note reminiscent of urine that I caught from the very beginning and now can't stop smelling, and for me it's a dealbreaker. It may be a question of too high a concentration. Or a bad batch. Will try including it in my blind trst set and see if the strong negative anchor disappears. Will also try to blend with it in minute quantities and see if it's viable at all. Not an easy one it seems.
Tip top products and delivery as always
What an phenomenal scent, so much richer than the EO. Once again another great product from The Fragrance Foundry.
One of my favourite ingredients. If you are looking at chypres, you must own this. Quite different to the essential oil which is also stocked here at FF.
High quality and great service from first purchase, many thanks.
