Steam distillation of aged Saussurea lappa roots. Sourced from India.

Orris rooty, wet hair, animalic, soft, warm and leathery.
In small concentrations, costus oil provides a warm naturalness to your perfume, however it is easily overdosed.
NOTE: IFRA has prohibited use of Costus EO for use in perfumery (if you take note of such things)
However it is used in aromatherapy for topical applications seemingly without issue. Strange. The risk is yours.
