Green Lavender Absolute

Green Lavender Absolute — also known as Lavender Absolute or Lavandula angustifolia absolute — is an intensely aromatic extract that captures the true essence of lavender, but with a green, spicy, and hay-like depth not found in the essential oil.

Why “Green”?

• Color: The absolute is a deep green to blue-green viscous liquid, unlike the pale hues of lavender essential oil. This vibrant tone comes from the solvent extraction process, which pulls out more pigment and heavier aromatic compounds from the flowers.
• Aroma: It has a greener, more herbaceous scent than typical lavender oil — think sweet hay, coumarin warmth, and a touch of forest floor. This “green” character is what perfumers often refer to when describing its deeper, earthier vibe.

Why “Absolue”?

• “Absolue” (or absolute) means it’s made via solvent extraction, not steam distillation. This method captures a fuller spectrum of aromatic molecules, resulting in a richer, more complex scent.

So in short: it’s called Green Lavender Absolue because it’s a green-colored, richly aromatic extract of lavender that smells more like the whole plant — leaves, stems, and all — rather than just the floral tops.
