Will it make a difference from a certain time with this material? That is, will a 5-year-old macerated tincture be better than a 3-year-old for example? Or from a certain time ethanol and Santal oil will absorb the entire scent of ambergris in the bottle and there will be no difference?
@TherapeuticFragrance3 жыл бұрын
That's a great question. My answer (and I will let Abdullah have his better one) would be to get the material in tincture or maceration as quick as possible as it only ages better in either. And there is no point in waiting. I have heard of twenty year old Musk product being just something that makes the composition out of this world.

@alexythimia73 жыл бұрын
Generally musk tinctures get better with age. I tend to see changes at certain time fra.es with these materials. After about 3 to 6 months the scent starts to give hints of maturation, at around 1 year it tends to display stronger signs of maturation and at around 2 years it often seems to reach a pinnacle, but much older materials can still change and improve in scent, this applies to most materials surprisingly and from my experience a smaller amount of materials expire and deteriorate in scent such as citrus and many herbs.
