Pure Pennyroyal Mint Absolute pure

Original designation: Menthe pouliot ABS Pure

Mentha pulegium L.

Pennyroyal is mint with wilderness intact—pungent, camphoraceous, earthy and dry rather than confectionery. Its concrete or absolute form gives green structures a striking antique-herbal authority.

At the perfumer’s organ

In the organ, use it to build wild mint accords, enrich herbal chypres and introduce aromatic leather. As top note, it offers signature rather than mere theme.

  • wild mint accords
  • herbal chypres
  • aromatic leather
  • cool-warm contrast

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.
