Appearance

Flouve Absolute is a viscous, greenish-amber to brownish-yellow liquid.

Odor

Flouve Absolute has a very sweet, herbaceous, tobacco-like and coumarinic odor. The overall fragrance is a sweet, licorice-like, root-like, somewhat mossy-herbaceous like wet underforest and meadows, of exceptional tenacity and high penetrating power.

Flavor

The flavor is very sweet, reminiscent of tobacco, i.e. the flavored shag tobacco or cigarette tobacco.

Uses in perfumery

In perfumes, Flouve Absolute is useful in chypre, fougére, pine, Oriental bases, and in traces as a sweetener for dry-woody notes. It blends excellently with oakmoss products, labdanum extracts, pine needle oils or fir needle absolute, chamomile oils, cypress oil, lavandin and lavender oils, petitgrain oils.
