Pine Needles Absolute Colourless (MD4)

Original designation: Pin aiguilles ABS incolore (DM4)

Pinus spp.

Pine needle absolute offers the cool green breath of a conifer canopy with more body than a fleeting terpene flash. The colourless designation suggests a visually edited material; its exact aromatic character still belongs to the individual extract.

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. The colourless grade was created for pale formulas where the material’s effect is desired without strong colour contribution.
