    Synonyms: Absolue Laine de Mouton
    Variety: Ovis Aries Classification: Base Note[i]

    An incredibly low-cost animalic that comes from a highly sustainable industry, Wool Absolute is upcycled by Biolandes in France from wool shorn from 100% pasture reared New Zealand sheep.

    In an age where classic animalics such as civet and deer musk are becoming difficult to obtain, novel products are needed to get the same blending and luxuriating fixative effects. Wool Absolute is a perfect addition to the perfumer's palette as it is the byproduct of an enormous existing industry and is extracted from the animal's wool after shearing. No sheep or lambs are harmed in the process however this would still be considered non-vegan as it is produced by an animal.

    The scent of this musk is pure rich lanolin with nuances of booze and fruit. For those who have worked on farms or seek a farmyard scent without fecal notes, this is ideal. In terms of animalics it is softer and more genteel than most (in fact it is rather nice to apply a little neat to the skin for its soothing and natural moisturising properties). Excellent for Oud fragrances.

    Wool Absolute has excellent 10% solubility in ETH, DPG, IPM, DEP, BB and TEC.

    Starting in 2024, all Fraterworks orders ship using green eco-fuel.

    General Information

    Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.

    All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.

    IFRA Standards

    Permitted amounts in finished product:

    IFRA 51: 100%

    These are derived from calculated concentrations which do not replace chromatographic quantification on individual lots. Disclaimer...

    For Trade Use Only

    Our products are intended as building blocks in the perfume creation process; they are not to be applied to the skin undiluted.

    These raw materials are for use by the perfumery trade only.

    guilt-free animalic

    Smelling this material instantly got me wanting to highlight it as the star of a composition. Fruity leather with barnyard and olive wood nuances, dry down a little "matte" taupe that could really sing with some woods, spices and cresol/yls.

    A powerful material

    Thus wool absolute it certainly authentic, in overdose it resembles a barnyard full of animals, earthy and fecal notes are present but not overly offensive. In lower doses it resembles lanolin infused sheep's wool, freshly shorn, rich and warm. Does wonders to extend or enhance ouds, and provides a level of authenticity to leather accords otherwise difficult to attain. A must have animalic material at this price!

    Unexpected and Gorgeous

    I expected it to smell animalic and fecal. Instead, it was revealing a balanced spectrum between fruty, leathery osmanthus and oud. A material that I can't wait to put in use!

    Great product

    Animalic and floral at the same time, not super supportive of the formula but can do the job. The product quality and package is great.

    The WOOL of the BEAST

    This stuff is amazing! It lives up to every expectation!! I still find it hard to believe that, essentially, collecting the run off from the shearing table leads to such a versatile and aromatic compound. Brilliant! I’m sure there’s much more to the process than that but it feels like the smell of the barnyard just blasting from the bottle. This odiferous and sweet smelling potion with pungent and spicy notes is captured right here redolent of the old sweat shops three hundred years ago, or entering the barn at milking time. So far I’ve added differing percentages to a number of accords that are truly evolving into solid and well rounded experiences. It is an excellent compound. I just love having a whiff when I can sneak away
