Concrete

A solid, waxy substance representing the closest odor duplication of the flower, bark, leaves, etc…, from which it has been extracted. They are obtained either by volatile solvent extraction or by enfleurage. Concretes are typically further rinsed with alcohol and concentrated to produce an absolute but can sometimes be used as such.

Frederic Jacques

Trained in Grasse at the world-renowned École de Parfumerie de Roure (now Givaudan), Frederic Jacques has led the development of iconic fragrances launched by luxury houses like Hermès, Armani, Ralph Lauren, Thierry Mugler and many others since the 1980s. In 2017, guided by a bold manifesto, he founded The Society of Scent to be a rare refuge of truly masterful perfumery. Armed with sharp aesthetic instincts and a rigorous technical training, he hopes to restore the not-so-lost art of transporting the soul and moving the senses.
