Hyraceum Absolute

Hyraceum Absolute. Is a sweet, smooth animal musk with notes of Deer musk, Castoreum and Tobacco. It is one of my two favourite creations, the other being my Musk Root Absolute.

I spent almost 4 months preparing this product and am delighted with the result.

Frequently asked questions

Some questions and answers are automatically generated.

What does Hyraceum Absolute smell like?
Reviewers describe a complex scent that often smells earthy, mineral, and leathery—like shoe polish or a stable—in the container, but softens on skin into musky, honey-like, and hay-like notes. The product description notes it carries undertones of deer musk, castoreum, and tobacco.
Is this suitable for perfume-making?
Yes. Reviewers specifically mention using it as a perfume component, and the description identifies it as a fixative and base/heart-note that anchors more volatile scents in fragrance compositions.
What is Hyraceum made from?
Hyraceum is the mineralized urine and feces of the Rock Hyrax, an animal related to the elephant. Communities of these animals deposit their waste in the same location for thousands of years, creating odorous middens that can be up to 50,000 years old.
Does the scent change when applied?
Yes. One reviewer noted that while it smells like a barn in the container, it quickly transforms into a musky, honey tone when applied to skin, making it more wearable than the initial dry aroma suggests.
What is the product consistency?
It is a thick but pourable liquid. The description notes it is formulated in a DPG base to prevent crystallization, though it dissolves readily in alcohol.
Is this product high quality?
Reviewers consistently praise the quality and note the creator's dedication; one mentions comparing it favorably to many aromatics purchased worldwide and another highlights its freshness and reasonable pricing relative to quality.
Can this be used in incense-making?
The description suggests it is likely useful in incense-making, though no reviewers mention this application directly.
Does it work as a perfume base note?
Yes. The description explains it acts as a fixative and base/heart-note in perfume compositions, anchoring more fleeting scents, and reviewers report successfully using it in their own fragrance projects.
This is a thick but pourable liquid, prepared by finely powdering the rock-hard mineralized Hyraceum stones (Which was no mean feat!). The material was then macerated and stirred for 2 weeks in a warm water bath before filtering and distilling under a vaccuum. The collected alcohol was then added back in to the marc and the maceration process was repeated to collect all the aromatic molecules from the stone. So, a long process. But well worth the time and effort!

Though it dissolves readily in alcohol, Hyraceum Absolute is in a base of DPG to hinder crystilization of the material.

 Hyraceum Absolute acts as a fixative and base/heart-note in perfume compositions, anchoring more fleeting and volatile scents, it is likely useful in incense-making as well.

Explaining precisely what Hyraceum is,is always fun.
To be succinct, Hyraceum is the mineralized urine and feces of the Rock Hyrax, the only other animal related to the elephant. (Even though it looks more like a Groundhog and doesn't have a long nose.)

Rock Hyrax communities deposit their excrement in the same place for thousands of years. These smelly aggregates are called middens and serve as social and territorial markers. These middens can be as old as 50.000 years.


Rock Hyrax are most often found basking on warm rocks in sunshiny places from South Africa to Israel and Lebanon.

Hyraceum is best known for its use in perfumery, where it can deliver notes of leather, Deer Musk, Civet, Castoreum and Cade.
