Maison Orris

Floral

Broom Concrete

Original designation: Genêt CTE

Spartium junceum L.

Broom concrete keeps the flower's waxier, more tactile body: yellow bloom, pollen, hay and malted warmth. It can make a composition feel sun-cured rather than merely sweet.

Extraction & expression

A concrete is the wax-rich first capture of aromatic biomass by solvent extraction. It retains fragrant molecules alongside natural waxes and pigments, creating a tactile, often plush material with unusual body.
