Musk Absolute (Wool)
17/11/2021: We are now starting with the second batch of this material. I need to state this batch (WMA002) is only partially ethanol-soluble. For this reason, perfume compositions will be initially cloudy and will achieve a clear solution once the composition has been properly chilled and filtered. For optimal clarity I advise to make a 10% dilution, freeze and filter. Aromatically at this dilution, the material is still very potent and still puts out a truly incredible aroma profile. So with this said, I have just altered the alcohol soluble status to partially, but beyond this, the content written by Eleonora is still spot on. Thanks, Adam : )
Eleonora Scalseggi has this to say “Although the very name wool musk absolute might seem to refer to something somewhat quirky and far from unsurpassable classics like rose or sandalwood, this material is a genius response to the unquenched thirst for natural musks and animalics but without the big ethical issues that come with materials like deer musk.
This wool musk absolute is, as the name suggests, obtained from natural wool of a small herd of sheep that has the luck of pasturing free, so they are cleaner animals compared to the ones that are kept confined in a barn, and with far better access to a vast array of grasses and shrubs that keep them healthier and happier.
Plus, shearing wool is an operation that would need doing regardless of the production of this absolute, leaving the farmer with wool, once a valuable resource, whereas today this material is increasingly regarded as some form of waste, and those who cannot find uses for it are often even forced to pay to have it disposed of. Luckily, some creative minds are now giving new life to wool using its many strengths in a range of new applications, spanning from agriculture to eco friendly buildings. Luckily for us, one farmer more creative than the rest and with a passion for natural perfumery has found this brilliant way to value his sheep wool, having it turned into a perfectly alcohol soluble absolute, via a process that is quite understandably kept secret in its key steps.
The absolute itself is of a soft but powerful nature, a clean barnyard animalic material with gently smoky leathery notes. It is a unique natural aromatic that dilutes beautifully and will impart a comforting feeling of cosiness and naturalness to almost any perfume composition, along with improving its staying power like animalic aromatics excel in doing. Maybe this is the birth of a new classic, and it is almost miraculously both a true animalic and a genuine environmentally and ethically sustainable one too.”

With this mateerial, new horizons open!
The scent is not far from lanolin and untreated wool, which is logical. As far as my nose know, there was no such scent in our perfumer palette until now. This is really a new kind of animalic. I haven’t tried it enough yet to know its tenacity and how it blends but I can imagine how it would fit in a leather, wood, heavy floral accord. I am not sure but I think this ingredient will give depth and lift at the same time.

A truly wonderful musk..a masterpiece material that can transform any composition without overlap and disturb other materials but rather enhance and transform them into a heavenly level. I’m amazed and speechless how can someone from wool create this gem..its floral,sweet woody,orris butter, ethereal and soft animalic all in one..i could actually say that the level of musky power expand from the bottle when you smell it neat is the correct level to wear it as a perfume by itself …although its a sheep wool absolute compare it with deer musk infused in sandalwood i admit that there are a lot of similarities and values..definitely buying more bottles!!10 out of 10!

This is my first time with a natural musk and so I was a bit nervous to order this. I popped the cap and took a wiff… I simply amazed. This is a rich, raw, and animalistic scent. A musk like this is PERFECT for an aphrodisiac amongst many other uses. I definitely get that barnyard animal odor that I was looking for and glad that I added it to my organ.

translated with google:
I love lively, organic, animalic scents, and this is gloriously that. It is, without a doubt, a sister smell to the civet, but with a honey texture that will make it more malleable. Wool seems to have aromatic substances very similar to civet. It is also reminiscent of cheese full of mold and mildew, delicious and succulently stinky. I love this smell. I close my eyes, smell it, and go into the fold.

I absolutely love this product! It is perfect for recreating oud accords. It is funky, smooth and oddly comforting. It has a subtle similarly to cheese, and it really does magic in blending. This is a truly incredible addition to the perfume pallet!
