Appearance

Elderflower Absolute is a solid, waxy mass only slightly lighter colored than the parent concrete.

Odor

The odor varies according to the solvents used but it is in general intensely sweet-herbaceous, honey-waxy, faintly anisic-floral or spicy.

Flavor

Elderflower Absolute is occasionally used in flavors where it can lend interesting bouquet notes to honey, blackcurrant and cherry flavor compositions.

Uses in perfumery

Elderflower Absolute lends interesting warm-floral effects in suitable dilution and in the trace amounts where it is useful at all in perfumes. It blends well with bergamot, boronia, oakmoss, ylang-ylang, anisalcohol, ionones, isoeugenol, etc. in carnation bases, lilac, tabac bases, etc.
