Način dobijanja
Beeswax absolute is obtained by solvent extraction of Apis mellifera beeswax. Propolis tincture is made by macerating propolis in ethanol. Honey absolute can be produced by solvent extraction but is rarely used due to cost. These materials combined approximate the full-hive experience.

U parfemima
The western honey bee note is a heart-to-base accord providing warm, waxy-honeyed-animalic character. Built from beeswax absolute, honey materials, propolis tincture, and dusty-sweet pollen accords. Functions in honey-themed, garden, and warm-animalic compositions. More complex than simple honey accords, with the beeswax and propolis adding depth. Pairs with floral naturals, labdanum, and amber bases.
