A mild, oily-fatty aroma with a faintly nutty, seedy character and a soft green undertone. Quite subdued in isolation, more of a textural/fixative note than a bold odor — think pressed flaxseed with a mildly resinous linger.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Linseed oil absolute is a yellowish to light amber colored, oily liquid of mild, fatty-oily odor, reminiscent of the odor of freshly expressed linseed oil (after proper ageing).
Linseed oil is slightly soluble in cold ethyl alcohol.
The odor is also reminiscent of the slightly fishy-animal-like odor of fresh cod liver oil and of a refined oleic acid.
The use of this material is limited to the above flower oil duplications and similar perfumery problems.
