Black Currant Bud Absolute, France

Black Currant Bud Absolute

This is purely a perfume ingredtial--it's solid and difficult to work with, but its spicy, woody juiceness makes all forgiven.

Delicious, mouth watering, rich, red juiciness, with a wave of green, perfect for combining with a sweet citrus friend....Astringent and deep purple waves radiate out, shimmering fruity delight.

Arctander says

The absolute is a dark viscous liquid of dark green color and powerful spicy-woody odor. There is slightly phenolic undertone and the tenacity is not outstanding…….

This is not what we have, and there is little agreement here at Enfleurage as smell is so subjective. For one, our black current bud is a solid to semi solid. There are more jammy, tangy, fruity notes in ours, and it is definitely spicy-green with an animalic dry down. It’s a very interesting, huge absolute with lots of strength and personality.

This absolute is beautiful with citruses and florals such as jasmine and ylang ylang.

Lovely currant blooms-

Your fragrance, sheer delight to

Discerning noses
