Our Immortelle Absolute is a unique product that's extracted from Helichrysum italicum G. Don flowers grown on the southern coast of France. Unlike typical Immortelle Absolutes, ours boasts complex and tenacious aromatic notes that we are proud to put our name on. A few drops of this absolute on the scent strip can last nearly 24 hours and leave an unforgettable aromatic intensity.
If you have tried Immortelle absolutes of Spanish origin, you might be familiar with their thick and difficult-to-work-with consistency. However, with our Immortelle Absolute, you will be amazed by the mobile reddish-amber liquid that needs no warming to liquefy. It's important to note that this Immortelle Absolute is from the same plant species that produces our exceptional Helichrysum italicum essential oil from Corsica.
Immortelle is also known as Everlasting, which is an appropriate name for it as it offers natural perfumery, emotional, and aroma-therapeutic benefits. When it comes to natural perfumery, it's best to refer to the essential oil as Helichrysum and the absolute as Immortelle or Everlasting. The extremely strong aroma of this absolute makes it the preferred type of Helichrysum for perfumery.
World-renowned perfume and flavor expert Steffen Arctander writes that Immortelle Absolute is used in perfumery for its deep-sweet, honey-like, tobacco-like notes and for its fixative effect. He also says the absolute has an extraordinary ability to round off and bouquet a fragrance that may need life and naturalness. If you're a natural perfumer, you will love blending natural perfume with Immortelle Absolute, as the possibilities are endless.
Although there are certainly some aromatherapy benefits with Immortelle Absolute, such as emotional benefits, it's essential to note that if you're looking to use helichrysum for skin care, we recommend using the premium Helichrysum italicum essential oil that we offer for this purpose.
