Tuberose Absolute (Polianthes tuberosa, Family: Agavaceae) is a steam-distilled extract of the tuberose flower, grown in India. Highly concentrated, it is considered food safe only in very small quantities, but is most often used in perfumery for its rich and complex floral profile.
Aroma
Intense, sweet, and creamy with green, narcotic floral notes and warm honey undertones.
Traditional Use
Tuberose has long been revered in Indian and European perfumery traditions as one of the most luxurious floral scents, often symbolizing sensuality and beauty.
Benefits
This absolute is valued for its ability to add depth, warmth, and lasting power to perfumes, as well as for creating luxurious floral blends in aromatherapy and body care.
How to Prepare & Use
Perfumery: Best used pre-diluted into alcohol or a carrier oil before blending into perfumes and body products.
Topical: Always dilute well before applying to the skin due to its strength.
Storage Tip
Keep tightly sealed and stored in a cool, dark place. Gentle warming may be needed if the absolute thickens.
Safety Note
Food safe only in trace amounts. Primarily for external use in perfumery and body care. Always dilute before skin application.
