Lavender Absolute will change the way you think about Lavender. Rich and sweet with pure bursts of honeyed-hay, this heady aromatic is a sought-after heart-note for natural perfumers and aromatherapists. When diluted, blended, or diffused, lavender absolute can be used to elegantly harmonize emotions.
Lavender is perhaps best known for its loving-lullaby scent that nestles nerves and swoons the spirit. Emotionally, Lavender is unparalleled for melting away tense thoughts and blesses serene slumber. Lavender restores the spirit to its natural state of grounded calm and relaxed wonder.
“Lavender absolute and concrete is produced from direct extraction of the herb with solvents (concrete) and thence extraction… The concrete can be used in soaps, fougères, chypres, ambers, tabac perfumes, etc. It blends well with bergamot citrus oils, musks, eugenol, etc.”
~ Maria Lis-Balchin, Lavender: The Genus Lavandula
“Lavender absolute: the odour is very similar to the plant, although more intense, sweet and herbaceous, with green floral and hay-like nuances (from L. angustifolia).”
~ Jennifer Peace Rhind, Listening to Scent
