Castoreum

11 perfumes

Castoreum, historically derived from the beaver’s scent glands, is now recreated through synthetic molecules to capture its primal, leathery, and animalic essence. It offers a deep, smoky, and slightly fruity profile, acting as a potent base note that provides exceptional longevity and sensual warmth. In the Gulf market, it is a prized fixative, often layered with rich Oudh or Taif Rose to add a sophisticated, rugged complexity that resonates with the region’s appreciation for bold, enduring, and opulent fragrances.
