This is something different entirely — a rare roasted expression of \u003cem\u003eIlex paraguariensis\u003c\/em\u003e, exclusive to our supplier, where the roasting process transforms the leaf's naturally earthy character into something considerably richer, darker, and more complex than the standard absolute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere our existing Yerba Mate Absolute offers the classic green tea-tobacco profile that most perfumers know, this roasted expression takes the same botanical starting point in an entirely different direction — deep, dark, and evocative of roasted tea, tobacco, and coffee rather than fresh green leaf. Solvent extracted from Brazilian-grown mate, it is a genuinely rare and distinctive material rarely encountered in modern perfumery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eScent Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe opening reveals deep, dark facets of roasted tea intertwined with tobacco and dark coffee — a considerably richer and more smoky-toasted character than the fresh green profile of standard mate absolute. Dry hay notes weave through the composition alongside subtle smoky nuances, creating a sophisticated, earthy material of genuine warmth and texture. The overall impression is dark, roasted, and deeply grounding — closer to a smoky tobacco or roasted coffee bean than to fresh tea leaf. The drydown is long and warm, anchoring compositions with quiet authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfumery Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eParticularly valuable in tobacco accords, leather compositions, and woody fragrances where its dark, roasted character adds genuine depth and originality. In gourmand and coffee-forward compositions it provides an unusual botanical alternative or complement to coffee CO₂ extracts. In modern niche perfumery its unique roasted signature offers a rarely-encountered aromatic direction — a material for perfumers deliberately seeking something beyond the ordinary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUsed alongside our standard Yerba Mate Absolute, the two materials create a compelling study in contrast — green versus roasted, fresh versus dark — offering the serious perfumer a genuinely instructive pairing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBlending Suggestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePairs beautifully with our Coffee Arabica CO₂ Extract, tobacco absolute, patchouli, vetiver, cedarwood, sandalwood, vanilla, tonka bean, labdanum, and amber accords.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eIlex paraguariensis\u003c\/em\u003e A.St.-Hil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Names:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roasted Mate \/ Roasted Yerba Mate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aquifoliaceae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eINCI Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ilex Paraguariensis Extract\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCAS Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 73296-98-7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brazil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Part:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leaves — roasted before extraction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtraction Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solvent extraction (absolute)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Base note\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brown, fluid liquid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOdour Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roasted \/ Tobacco \/ Woody \/ Gourmand \/ Smoky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — 100% pure natural absolute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Distinct from our standard Yerba Mate Absolute — a roasted expression with a considerably darker, richer character\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePackaging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e1ml sample supplied in a 5ml clear flint glass bottle. 5ml, 10ml and 30ml supplied in amber glass bottles — all with inbuilt droppers and tamper evident caps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor external use only.
