Linden Absolute is a concentrated natural aromatic product obtained from linden blossoms. It is produced by solvent extraction into a concrete, followed by ethanol processing into an absolute. This method extracts the aromatic compounds and preserves the floral character of linden.

Aromatic Profile
Linden Absolute has a delicate floral scent with honeyed, green, herbal and tea-like nuances. In perfume compositions, it is used for a natural linden note with soft sweetness, a warm floral accent and subtle botanical freshness.
Product Characteristics
The product is usually a dense, viscous liquid with a yellow-brown to dark brown colour. It may thicken at lower temperatures. This is normal behaviour for certain natural absolutes. It is suitable for alcohol-based and oil-based aromatic systems; water-based systems require prior formulation assessment.
Suitable For
It is suitable for fine perfumes, niche fragrances, natural cosmetics, aromatic blends, personal care products and floral perfume formulations. The product is valued for its distinctive linden blossom scent and its ability to add a natural, recognisable accent to finished compositions.
Low yield and labour-intensive blossom collection contribute to the limited availability and high value of Linden Absolute.
Storage
To preserve its aromatic profile, store in tightly closed aluminium or glass containers, in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Recommended storage temperature: +5°C to +25°C.
