Addictive, Unmatchable Scent! Review by
Rating

I got a sample of this bizarre absolute and the moment a fraction of it rubbed off onto my fingers upon popping the vial, I was addicted! The description by Eden nails it: there is something oddly animalistic about it, yet with deep, complex dried-fruit notes. I diluted it to some unknown percentage with Everclear in a 5 dram vial and am back to purchase a much larger supply despite the price tag. I plan on using this in my horse/prairie grass centered blends to enhance the animal musk and leather notes already present in my recipe. Did I say it was addictive? I can't stop sniffing myself!

Sticky Bud Review by

Super complex. It smells like sage, jam, and cannabis all rolled into one. ::pun intended:: I am not getting cat pee, thank goodness but there is a bitterness that I really like and a minty quality that I can only describe as fresh nug and fruity sage. Wonderful! Some may not like it but it's the perfect little freak for my organ. I diluted it to 5% in ethyl alcohol and then paired it with florals- talk about an exalting effect. Ooooo, aaahhhhh!

fruit like Review by

My sample is very powerful ... opens with an animal tone like urine of some feline, it is really strong and almost sulphurous in the good sense (the complex and beautiful nature) when it dilutes it shows its true face: fruits like passion fruit , like guava, has fresh tones and acids. This brings natural fruit tints to any fragrance.
When I uncover my concentrated sample I immediately visualize this video ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9ykPw8njZk
I thought I smelled like the urine of this ferocious animal (lol)

Fruit Cocktail in a Bottle Review by
Rating

I don't know why I avoiding this beautiful botanical for so long. I've recently been on an Oud binge and created a wonderful Fruity Oud Attar featuring Jasmine Egypt Abs, Black Currant and Assam Agarwood and it turned out masterfully. The combination of fruity currant buds, floral jasmine and a touch of coumarin-rich sweet Tonka with Tobacco abs created a deeper more mysterious fruit cocktail sweet Oudh Attar. I diluted the black currant abs down to 10% in FCO and used it as an accent note in moderation. I didn't detect the animalic cat urine note others have mention in prior reviews -- thank goodness. I suggest you try a sample first and dilute those 6 drops in about 5 ml of FCO, which has no scent to it, and use it that way. A little goes a long way (e.g., less than 0.5%). In small dilutions, you pick up the more intricate facets of the oil. In other words, treat this oil like civet abs. This exalts anything that it's blended with, especially fruity/citrus, floral and dark woody notes.

Cat urine GOODNESS Review by

So, I was looking to make a few tropical fruit accords. Looking back, I remember that most of them have a subtle "cat pee" scent, and black currant absolute delivers. Someone else mentioned it smells like guava straight out of the bottle, and I wholeheartedly agree. It brought me back to summer at home, with the smell of guavas on the counter wafting through the entire house. This is a MUST for building tropical fruit scents!

Thank you for your feedback CK. We note in our descriptor that Black Currant Bud absolute is used as a modifier in trace amounts, and we suspect that the strong urine smell you experienced may be due to not diluting this material enough. We recommend that you try a dilution of 5 percent or less; this material and a few others, such as Seaweed Absolute, Tobacco Absolute and Violet Leaf Absolute, are meant to be used in trace amounts – that is when their true aromas come forth.
Also, please note that if you are aiming for a botanical oil with a predominant ‘berry’ or ‘fruit’ note, there are no true essential oils or absolutes that offer that. One might think that for commercial fragrance oils there are corresponding botanical oils, but that is often not the case.

Dissappointed with this one :( Review by

Alas, I got none of the wonderful black currant notes I expected - just an overpowering version of the cat-urine note mentioned in the description. I tried it a few different ways - diluted, straight, on the skin, on sample paper, mixed with other scents, and the urine smell was the only thing that came through. Thought it may just be me, so had another person give a sniff test, and they agreed that all they got was "strong pee". Frustrating, since I was really needing something black-currant-reminiscent for a specific scent! Any recommendations?

Juicy, Guava Review by
Rating

I loved this after a few whiffs. It smelled very nice! It has this juiciness and sweetness that reminds me of guavas (guayabas). It reminds me of a cooked guava puree my aunt use to make in Mexico. It is sweet when I first smell it. After a few seconds the fruity smell softens and I get a bit of a boozy kick, in a nice mellow way. I really dig this. I don't get any urine smells from this.
