Медоносна бджола

Waxy, honeyed, slightly animalic. Apis mellifera — not honey itself but the hive: beeswax, propolis, pollen, and the warm animal smell of a living colony.

Отримання й хімія
Спосіб отримання
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.

У парфумерії
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.
