A rich, waxy solid extract of lavandin with a strong herbaceous-camphoraceous lavender character. Compared to the essential oil it is deeper, greener and more tenacious, with a hay-like, slightly balsamic undertone from the plant waxes. Less sparkling than lavandin oil but more grounded and long-lasting.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Lavandin Concréte is a solid, waxy, dark green mass or a viscous liquid, just pourable at room temperature.
It is soluble in most essential oils and synthetic perfume materials.
The odor is intensely herbaceous, rich but not very sweet, closely approaching that of the dry herb of lavandin, almost chokingly camphoraceous-woody, without being sharp.
Lavandin Concréte finds extensive use in soap perfumery where its contents of waxes is an advantage, and where alcohol-insolubility is no drawback.
A Concréte of Lavandin is produced by solvent extraction (usually petroleum ether or benzene) of the flowering tops of the Lavandin shrub.
