Cassie Flower Absolute - Acacia Farnesiana

Sourced from the sun-drenched landscapes of Egypt, this exquisite Cassie Flower Absolute represents one of perfumery's most treasured and multidimensional botanical extracts. Derived from the delicate golden blossoms of the Acacia farnesiana tree, this precious material offers an extraordinary aromatic journey that captivates and intrigues.

Aromatic Character

Upon first encounter, Cassie Absolute reveals an opulent tapestry of scent. Warm mimosa-like florals interweave with herbaceous violet leaf nuances, whilst deeper layers unveil spiced undertones, subtle woody aspects, and a distinctive leathery character. A delicate honeyed sweetness emerges throughout, accompanied by whispers of sandalwood-like warmth that lend sophistication and depth.

Perfumery Applications

This versatile absolute excels in elevating floral compositions, enhancing oud-based creations, and adding complexity to oriental accords. Its layered scent profile makes it invaluable for professional perfumers seeking to introduce warmth, body, and intrigue to their formulations. A little goes a long way — this concentrated material delivers significant impact even in modest quantities.

Blending Suggestions

Harmonises beautifully with rose, jasmine, ylang ylang, neroli, bergamot, frankincense, orris, mimosa, costus, and various ionone-based materials. Particularly effective in violet reconstructions, amber bases, and sophisticated floral bouquets.
