Elderflower Absolute - Sambucus Nigra | French Perfumery Grade

Part of our Professional Perfumers Range — curated for the discerning natural perfumer seeking exceptional depth and rarity.

Captured from the delicate blossoms of Sambucus nigra, this exquisite French-origin absolute embodies the ephemeral charm of elderflowers in full bloom. Through meticulous solvent extraction, the fragile aromatic essence is preserved with exceptional authenticity.

The olfactory character presents as luminous and softly floral, interlaced with verdant green nuances reminiscent of late spring meadows. A honeyed warmth pervades throughout, tempered by crisp, dew-kissed freshness and whispers of herbaceous depth. This creates an aromatic experience that is simultaneously weightless yet substantive — graceful, nostalgic, and inherently refined.

This absolute excels when paired with citrus accords, white floral compositions, and sheer musk bases. It contributes an uplifting floral radiance and pastoral elegance to fragrance blends. Equally compelling as a standalone note for artisans who appreciate understated, clean botanical aromatics.
