Mignonette Absolute

Original designation: Mignonette ABS, M.P.E

Reseda odorata L.

Mignonette is a perfumer's secret flower: modest in appearance, complex in scent, threading green leaf, honey, pepper and soft violet through a hay-like heart. Its rarity makes it feel like a page recovered from an antique formula book.

Extraction & expression

Absolute extraction preserves a broad, saturated portrait of the source. Traditionally, fragrant biomass is first solvent-extracted and the resulting concrete or resinoid is purified with alcohol, giving perfumers a dense material rich in less-volatile facets.
