Odour profile (FraterWork)
Siberian Castoreum Tincture opens with intensely smoky, tarry
leather notes reminiscent of birch tar and creosote, evolving into a profound
animalic-musky heart with phenolic warmth, finishing with surprising
vanilla-like softness and exceptional tenacity.

Descriptions
Comment (FraterWork)
Siberian castoreum has historically been considered inferior to the Canadian
variety, but upon smelling this beautiful tincture one can't help but wonder if
cold-war politics may have had a part to play in that judgement.
This tincture is, in our opinion, finer than Canadian and more nuanced. While
both varieties have a soft smokiness the main difference is that the Siberian
product has a more profoundly natural leather note with fewer fruity aspects
making it drier.
This is our favourite castoreum tincture, a tincture which transports you to the
wintery woodlands of ancient Russia so beloved by Chanel perfumer Ernest Beaux.
Our Siberian castoreum tincture is made in exactly the same way as all of our
tinctures, using finest pure and natural alcohol.
‘Castoreum [tincture's] warm, animal, leather-like sweet odour makes it an
interesting item in “men's perfumes”, fougeres, chypres, Oriental bases, leather
notes, Tabac bases, etc. [It blends] particularly well with ambra notes,
calamus, cananga, cedarwood Atlas, chamomile moroccan, creosol, labdanum
products, isoeugenol, oakmoss products, sandalwood oil, […] etc.’ — S.
