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

Use

Lavender absolute has a green spicy floral scent reminiscent of dried lavender, but also hay. The smell is not very strong, so it can be used undiluted. Typical use is in lavender scents, as well as in other spicy floral scents. You usually use between 0.1% and 8% of this substance in the fragrance composition. It combines well with other green and spicy scents, as well as floral scents. It is primarily a heart to base note in perfumes and is stable in most products, including soap.

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

Properties

Lavender absolute is a dark green to brown liquid at room temperature. The substance is an absolute, an extract that is made with certain solvents, such as hexane or ethanol. These solvents are removed as best as possible from the extract, but some remains. The purity is at least 97%, because it contains up to 3% ethanol. The latter is used to extract the fragrances from the plant. It is a fairly long-lasting fragrance.

Like any plant extract, this one is a mixture of various substances. An indication of the composition is the following:

> 25% - Linalyl Acetate
10-25% - Linalool
5-10% - Coumarin, 1,8-Cineol, Camphor, Oct-1-en-3-yl Acetate
2-5% - Terpinene-4-ol
1-2% - Ethanol
