Absolutes

 

Floral and botanical absolutes: the delicate soul of perfumery

 

Absolutes are highly concentrated aromatic extracts obtained from flowers, roots, and resins that cannot be distilled without losing their aroma. This process allows for the capture of the most subtle essence of extremely delicate plants, such as jasmine, tuberose, or mimosa.

 

Unlike essential oils, which are obtained by distillation, absolutes require a slower, more careful, and technical process, in which the temperature must be kept low so as not to degrade the volatile compounds.
