Original designation: Hamamélis ABS

Witch hazel absolute suggests a restrained woodland green—dry leaf, pale wood and tea-like shadow—more atmospheric than overtly floral.

At the perfumer’s organ

In the organ, use it to build dry green and tea accords, enrich quiet woodland florals and introduce astringent contrast in aromatic, leather and tobacco themes. As heart note, it offers signature rather than mere theme.

  • dry green and tea accords
  • quiet woodland florals
  • astringent contrast in aromatic, leather and tobacco themes

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.
