Mugwort Absolute

Original designation: Armoise ABS

Artemisia vulgaris L.

Mugwort is an austere beauty: bitter, camphoraceous and smoky-green, with hay and leather under the herb. It can give a perfume the atmosphere of dried plants pressed between the pages of an old pharmacopoeia.

At the perfumer’s organ

In the organ, use it to build bitter-green chypres, enrich herbal leather and introduce absinthe accords. As base note, it offers signature rather than mere theme.

  • bitter-green chypres
  • herbal leather
  • absinthe accords
  • smoky aromatics

Extraction & expression

Absolute extraction preserves a broad, saturated portrait of the source. Traditionally, fragrant biomass is first solvent-extracted and the resulting concrete or resinoid is purified with alcohol, giving perfumers a dense material rich in less-volatile facets.
