Cassie absolute is a fragrance extract for use in, for example, perfume, cosmetics, and air fresheners.

Use

Cassie absolute has a green spicy floral scent reminiscent of the blossoms of acacia and hawthorn. The smell is not very strong, so it can be used undiluted. Typical use is in flower accords such as lilac, broom, hawthorn and mimosa. You usually use between 0,1% and 5% of this substance in the fragrance composition. In addition, it lends itself to a natural accent in various floral scents such as magnolia, lily of the valley, tuberose and violet. It is mainly a base note in perfumes and fairly stable in many products.

Keep cool, dry, dark and out of reach of children.
