Italian Toasted Barley Absolute

Adam Michael has this to say “The smell of this barley absolute, right off the bat I get hits of espresso coffee with a little cream mixed in, I pick out a note that reminds me of the taste that fills my mouth as I chew on sticky toffee candies, we have some toasted nutty qualities, hazelnut, chestnuts cooked on an open fire, concentrated walnut vibes.
Lots of delicious salted caramel nuances are present, as is the smell of butterscotch popcorn, fresh bread and lashings of summer haystack and tobacco absolute tonalities.

We also have some boozy character here that pitter patters into the vast scent spectrum of smelling oakwood aromatics and at times goes off into a brandy and cognac direction. I do get some fruity traces that my brain registers as being comparable to the fruity components that come with smelling Juniper absolute – or possibly the co2 and then bam, something entirely new hits me and now I am smelling a cross between toasted sesame seeds, toasted pine nuts and dark chocolate.

Other notes, dark woody tonalities, Cuban cigars, charred effects, dried earth, liquorice, trace hits of vanilla and something warm floral that makes me think of a helichrysum and genet infusion.
Mamma Mia, this artisan produced aromatic is an encyclopaedia of gourmand scent.

If you have a half decent nose, actually even if you don’t, so what, if you are enthusiastic about scent and want something with lots of layers that’s going to give you something new each time you dive in, then this one is for you.

This has to be the best barley absolute aromatic in the marketplace, just apply it on the strip, sit back, inhale, and enjoy.

Uses, a brown note, a must for gourmand creations, coffee accords, can help blend woody components of a perfume together more harmoniously, provides interesting effects within sweet-florals, pairs great with aromatics of a vanilla, liquorice, oakwood and benzoin nature.”
