Costus is a species of plant that grows especially in the Himalayan regions of Asia. Costus has an essential oil derived from its roots, and this oil is often used in perfumery.
The olfactory profile is usually complex, intense and has a pronounced character. The smell of Costus oil can usually have an earthy, woody, spicy and sometimes animalistic note.
In perfumery, costus oil is often used to create deep, complex and characteristic fragrances. While some perfumes add depth and warmth by using it in the background, it can also be preferred as a main note for others.
Culturally, the costus plant has traditionally been used in some Asian countries for medicinal and aromatherapy purposes. However, due to the fact that the production of costus oil is naturally reduced and the plant is among the rare species, its use and trade has decreased. In some cultures, it is rarely used for ritual or traditional medical practices. Costus oil is notable especially for its rare and unique character in the perfumery industry.
