In perfume compositions, Costus Oliffac acts as a deep fixative and character booster.
It sensualizes florals and adds a raw edge to woody notes.Even in low concentrations, it remains powerfully present, evolving complexly over time.
Costus Oliffac (IFF) AC unfolds with a distinctive animalic presence — raw and seductive — evoking leather, skin, and the unwashed mystery of nature.
This molecular reimagining of costus root captures the essence of old leather, damp wool, and sweet tobacco, with a touch of castoreum — but cruelty-free.
Costus Olifac is a synthetic aromatic base used in perfumery to replicate the scent profile of natural costus root oil—which is now prohibited due to IFRA and CITES regulations
