Appearance

Woodruff absolute (from concrete) is a viscous dark green liquid.

Odor

Woodruff absolute has a heavy-sweet, herbaceous-tobacco-like odor, reminiscent of hay, dry tea leaves, and tobacco.

Uses in perfumery

This product blends excellently with lavender and lavandin concrete and absolute, clary sage concrete, oakmoss products, labdanum products, pine needle oils, cedarwood oils, tombacco absolute, isobornyl acetate, nitromusks, cinnamic alcohol, ionones, and methyl cinnamate for powdery notes, fougeres, new mown hay bases, chypres, forest notes, and lily of the valley.

Production

Produced by petroleum ether extraction, a concrete is prepared; the concrete yields an absolute after alcohol-washing.
