Description and usage notes:
As this is quite an expensive and powerful material we are offering it here at 10% in ethanol for a more affordable and easier to use option, but pure Castoreum Givco is also available if you prefer.
This base is a recreation of the odour of natural castoreum extract, designed by Givaudan. It provides an extremely effective and powerful animalic quality that can be used as a background note in a wide variety of fragrance types at low levels. At higher levels it can be used to convey a leathery quality or form the basis of a leather accord.
It is intended as a one to one replacement for a 10% solution of natural castoreum absolute.
Description from Givaudan: “Odor: castoreum. Use: This reconstitution contains only synthetic ingredients and plant-based naturals. It reflects all the typical warm, animal, leather-like notes and is a highly interesting note for use in chypre, tobacco, leather and fougère types.”

First impression OOB: Barbeque sauce, sweaty cowboy, something died behind the shed……all in a good way. Small amounts play well with the usual suspect dark materials. For an interesting juxtapose, try it with aldehyde C16.

Very strong animalic, urinous, and extremely pungent odor. Definitely to be used sparingly but can add depth and an interesting texture to a fragrance.
