What are Absolutes? Absolutes are natural oil extracts of flowers obtained by various cold processes. (Ethanol extraction, CO2 extraction, maceration, enfleurage, cold pressing extraction) Due to the extraction method, they are highly concentrated and have a more substantial and longer-lasting smell than essential oils. They are the best and highest quality approximation of the smell of flowering plants in nature. Absolutes contain not only the essential oil of plants but also other vital ingredients, which is why they are more complex in composition and scent.
