1 · Compounding

Fragrance concentrate weighed to 0.01 g on an analytical balance; each Sue formula lives as a locked digital master in the Perfume Lab.

25% concentrate into SDA 40-B perfumer's alcohol in stainless, nitrogen-blanketed vessels — ATEX-rated at Stage 2.

3 · Maceration

4–6 weeks in the dark at 15–18 °C. The notes marry; the leather and amber deepen.

4 · Chill & filter

48 h at −5 °C to precipitate waxes, then 0.22-micron filtration for crystal clarity.

5 · Fill & crimp

Vacuum gravity fill into flint-glass flacons, crimped atomiser, hand-placed collar and cap.
