Sage Absolute is derived from the leaves of the sage plant, scientifically known as Salvia officinalis. This absolute is used in perfumery for its robust, earthy, and slightly peppery aroma, which adds depth and complexity to fragrance compositions. Unlike its essential oil counterpart, sage absolute is more concentrated and possesses a richer profile, making it a valued ingredient in the creation of aromatic and herbal accords in high-end perfumes. Sage has a long history in both culinary and medicinal uses, but in perfumery, it is celebrated for its unique and potent scent profile which contributes to the creation of warm, inviting, and sophisticated fragrances.
Natural or Synthetic?
Sage Absolute is derived naturally through a solvent extraction process, which effectively captures the full aromatic essence of the sage leaves. This method produces a more concentrated and richer aroma compared to essential oils, which is preferred for its depth and complexity in fragrance compositions.
