Poplar Buds MD Absolute
Adam Michael has this to say “Wow, this is such an improvement on the many regular poplar buds absolute materials I have smelled over the past years and this is much easier to work with as well. This material is obtained first by solvent extraction of the poplar buds then molecular distilled without solvents resulting in this soluble absolute.
This material is mobile, lemon curd yellow in colour and the aroma is described by the producer as fruity-apricot, flowery-osmanthus, woody, leathery, liqueur-like davana notes with prune and fig undertones. Useful in floral bouquets, oriental, fruity and leather notes.”
Botanical Name: Populus nigra
Origin: France

A lovely material with great tenacity.

Very fixative, sweet honeyed, and lucious.

Smells exactly like the result you get from infusing poplar buds in oil. It’s the true scent of poplar buds. Sweet and balsamic with the faintest trace of honey and benzoin. I also smell faint traces of apricot and osmanthus that Adam mentions. Mouthwatering material. Gently heating is ideal for working with the viscous liquid.

Wow! This is a scent to bow before, it is luxurious, rich, complex. I cannot get enough of its bitter-sweet, balsamic quality. It is a must-have for perfumers working on leather-bases. It is a magic modifier of lavender, rosemary and other herbs. I also get an olive-like oiliness on jasmines and other florals. At times, it offers a boozy or syrupy quality that is unexpected. Truly marvellous!

Mmm, such a beautiful floral/fruity, happy smell. This would be an excellent note in a sophisticated feminine floral formula, vaguely reminiscent of magnolia in its elegance.
I had no idea that poplar buds could smell so amazing…
