Predominantly woody in character, the extract reveals intricate mossy and iodine-like facets, accompanied by a distinctive opening that evokes the aroma of caramelised ripe banana — an unusual and captivating nuance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the living plant, which is known for its pungent, feline-like aroma reminiscent of certain blackcurrant preparations, this professionally extracted absolute has been refined to eliminate any sharp or urinous aspects, leaving only the elegant, complex heart of the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Modern Alternative to Restricted Mosses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoxtree absolute presents a compelling option for perfumers seeking alternatives to heavily regulated oakmoss and treemoss absolutes. Its intensely verdant character and exceptional tenacity — reportedly exceeding 400 hours on a scent strip — make it an invaluable building block for contemporary chypres, fougères, and green compositions. In its undiluted state, this material forms a dense, solid mass comparable to fine-grade castoreum absolute; accordingly, it is supplied at 50% dilution in natural triethyl citrate (TEC), ensuring seamless integration into all-natural formulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuggested Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for modern chypre reconstructions, green florals, woody ambers, and gourmand accords where its subtle fruity-banana nuance can add unexpected depth. Pairs beautifully with labdanum, bergamot, lavender, patchouli, and oakmoss replacements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Buxus sempervirens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCAS Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 68916-72-3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Part:\u003c\/strong\u003e Twigs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtraction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solvent extraction (absolute)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDilution:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50% in Triethyl Citrate (TEC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Base note\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIFRA 51 Limit:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25% in finished product (Category 4)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supplied as a liquid dilution; undiluted material is a solid mass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePackaging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1ml sample supplied in a 5ml clear flint glass bottle. 5ml, 10ml and 30ml supplied in amber glass bottles - all with inbuilt droppers and tamper evident caps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor External use only.
