Narcissus Absolute LA

Narcissus spp.

Narcissus stands where flower meets field and skin: heady petals, green sap, hay, honey and a leathery animalic undertow. Few materials express vintage floral grandeur with such strange, cultivated wildness.

At the perfumer’s organ

In the organ, use it to build narcotic floral hearts, enrich leather florals and introduce hay accords. As base note, it offers signature rather than mere theme.

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.
