Description

Lavender Absolute is a refined natural perfumery material known for its soft floral, herbal, aromatic and slightly sweet character. It provides a fuller and richer interpretation of lavender and can add natural complexity and warmth to fragrance compositions.

Its aroma combines floral, herbal, fresh, slightly honeyed, sweet and subtly woody facets. Compared with the brighter and more volatile character of lavender essential oil, Lavender Absolute can provide a deeper, rounder impression that works particularly well in the heart of a fragrance.

Lavender Absolute is especially useful in fougère, aromatic, floral, herbal, woody and fresh fragrances. It blends naturally with citrus and aromatic materials while also connecting beautifully with woods, musks and balsamic base notes.

Perfumers' Tip

Lavender Absolute works beautifully as a soft, rich and natural aromatic heart note. Combine it with Bergamot, Lemon and Petitgrain for a fresh aromatic opening, or pair it with Clary Sage, Rosemary and Geranium for a more pronounced herbal-floral accord.

For a modern fougère structure, try Lavender Absolute + Bergamot + Geranium + Vetiver + Cedarwood + Ambroxan. Benzoin and Tonka Bean can add warmth and sweetness, while Patchouli can provide earthy depth.

Its softer and richer character makes it especially useful when you want a natural lavender effect with greater body and warmth than a simple fresh lavender accord.
