Tobacco Blonde Absolute (Nicotiana tabacum, Family: Solanaceae) is an alcohol-extracted aromatic absolute produced in Bulgaria. This “blonde” variety is nicotine-free and highlights the sweet, warm qualities of cured tobacco leaf without the harshness of smoke. It is considered food safe only in very small quantities but is primarily prized for perfumery and aromatic blending.
Aroma
Warm, sweet, and hay-like with honeyed, earthy undertones and a soft smokiness that adds richness to blends.
Traditional Use
Tobacco absolutes have long been valued in perfumery for their deep, grounding qualities, often used to lend warmth and depth to colognes, masculine blends, and sophisticated floral compositions.
Benefits
Blonde Tobacco Absolute is appreciated for its smooth, sweet character, providing complexity and balance to perfumes, soaps, and candles while offering a mellow base note that anchors lighter aromas.
How to Prepare & Use
Perfumery & Aromatics: Pre-dilute into alcohol or a carrier oil before blending into perfumes, lotions, or soaps.
Home Use: Adds a warm, earthy note to candles, incense, and room sprays.
Storage Tip
Keep tightly sealed and stored in a cool, dark place. Gentle warming may be needed if the absolute thickens.
Safety Note
Nicotine-free, but still highly concentrated. Food safe only in trace amounts. For external use, always dilute before applying to skin.
