Black Storax Absolute has a heavenly Amber aroma that is Balsamic, warm, sweet and spicy. It is both comforting and inspiring, warm and inviting. It is one of those fragrances you want to return to smell over and over again...Its Latin name is Liquidambar, and for good reason.
A dab of Black Storax Absolute blended with a small amount of carrier oil, makes a lovely and ready-to-wear perfume.
On an incense heater, Black Storax Absolute will yield many hours of aroma as one slowly raises the temperature throughout the day.
Also referred to as a Resin Absolute, this is a thick, fragrant, honey-like liquid that contains ALL the fragrant compounds present in Liquidambar orientalis, i.e., both the essential oils and the aromatic resin.
Prepared by warming and dissolving Black Storax resin in food-grade 95% alcohol, then evaporating the alcohol from the vacuum filtered liquid tincture at a very low temperature to preserve all the aromatic compounds.
Black storax Absolute acts as a fixative and heart note in perfume compositions, anchoring more fleeting and volatile scents. It is also helpful in incense making as a binder and aromatic ingredient since it burns clean and sweet.

Wore a drop under my chin to experience the scent, very wonderful and exotic. Definitely going to experiment with new perfume ideas. Thank you Dan!!!
This is Epic Dan - Plus, it only took 5 days to receive it here in the UK all the way from Canada which is faster than the UK's internal post system. So, two Epics in one...
