Lavender Absolute (IFF)
CAS: 8000-28-0
HeartLavandula angustifolia, or narrow-leaved lavender, is a classic variety of
lavender from which essences and absolutes are obtained. Its scent is intensely
herbal with a characteristic sweet (coumarin) finish.
The absolute from IFF has a stronger, more green opening and a darker color of
the liquid compared to the absolute from Firmenich (Lavender Pays Abs.). In
later stages, their scents are very similar.
