LIVING LIBATIONS - Wool Absolute

Wool Absolute is a distinctive aromatic material with a warm, soft musk profile that brings depth and character to fragrance compositions. Produced through the circular distillation of the mineral-rich water used to gently cleanse organic sheep's wool, this unique ingredient transforms a by-product into a refined perfumery material.

Ethically sourced, Wool Absolute offers perfumers and fragrance enthusiasts an alternative animal-derived aromatic with a rich, nuanced scent profile. Its complex aroma combines soft musky notes with subtle facets of aged rum, sun-dried hay, beeswax, and warm wool, creating a comforting and evocative olfactory experience.

As a base note, Wool Absolute blends beautifully with earthy accords, leather notes, florals, woods, and citrus compositions. Its rich aromatic profile adds depth, warmth, and dimension while contributing to a well-rounded fragrance composition.

Ideal for fine fragrance and botanical perfumery, Wool Absolute lends a distinctive pastoral character that feels both timeless and contemporary.
