An intensely green, sappy, and slightly bitter absolute with a wet-leaf, crushed-stem character. Underneath the sharp chlorophyll top there's a dank, earthy-mossy facet reminiscent of shaded undergrowth, with subtle tobacco-like and faintly balsamic nuances emerging over time.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Ivy Leaf Absolute is a dark green, semi-solid mass.
Ivy Leaf Absolute has an intensively herbaceous-green, or bark-green odor, and a rich, sweet-bitter foliage-extract undertone.
It is used in a number of bases and compounds, particularly in those where a heavy, not expressly floral, green note is desired, e.g. as a modifier with violet leaf absolute, hop absolute, as a naturalizer for dibutyl sulfide, amyl heptine carbonate, beta-gamma hexenyl acetate, phenoxy acetaldehyde, cuminaldehyde, methyl phenyl carbinyl acetate, etc. It is also useful in forest blends, fougères, chypres, etc., or in the reproduction of certain natural materials, e.g. oakmoss extracts.
A concrete is produced by hydrocarbon extraction. The concrete, in turn, is processed further to an absolute by the conventional method.
