It is almost impossible to put into words how truly incredible this Lavender “Signature” Absolute is. This is so rich it is a solid mass, not a liquid. There is not a single bad note here, just 100% pure lavender. This is so universally loved by our staff that we keep a small container in the laboratory so we can have the pleasure of smelling it through the day. We have tested many lavender absolutes from all the top French houses and this is not just better than everything we sampled - this is better than anything we ever imagined possible with a lavender product. A single sniff transports you to the middle of Provence where the scent of lavender soaks the air. This absolute is rich with notes of dried fruits, tonka beans and herbs. There does not exist under the sun a more profoundly beautiful expression of French lavender. Pair this with Lavender “Avice Hill” (nourished by the glacial waters of the Southern Alps), our exquisite small batch Lavandin, Grosso Oil, and the classic De Laire Foin Coupé base for a truly sublime fougère. NOTE: this absolute is extremely thick (to a point of being nearly solid) but can be added directly to your fragrance compound as-is. To bring it to melt point a fairly significant amount of heat is required. For that reason we offer it at 50% dilution in a blend of 50% triethyl citrate. This creates a viscous but pourable solution making it far easier to work with than pure. We also stock a beautiful practically colourless lavender absolute.
