DESCRIPTION

Sweet Vernal Grass Absolute (Anthoxanthum odoratum) is a noble and evocative raw material that captures the true essence of summer meadows and freshly-cut hay. Extracted from dried grass, it reveals a sweet, herbaceous, and warm aroma, enriched with hints of honey, blond tobacco, vanilla, and a subtle green-animalic nuance.

Highly valued in natural and artisanal perfumery, this absolute is supplied at 40% in TEC (Triethyl Citrate Natural) for optimal handling and smooth integration into fragrances.

Its profile is dominated by coumarin, a natural molecule that imparts a soft, comforting, and velvety sweetness — ideal for creating intimate and serene compositions.

PERFUMERY

In perfumery, Sweet Vernal Grass Absolute acts as a heart-base note, adding warmth, harmony, and natural elegance. Its enveloping profile blends hay, honey, vanilla, and light tobacco, bringing depth and authenticity to compositions.

Perfect in oriental, fougère, ambery, gourmand, and warm floral creations, it also works as a natural fixative and a bridge between green and sweet facets. It pairs beautifully with tonka, lavender, tobacco, vetiver, benzoin, patchouli, and vanilla, creating soft, serene, and evocative fragrances.

With its bright rustic character, it evokes sunlit meadows, quiet landscapes, and a sense of natural simplicity.
