Imortelle Absolute Oil
Imortelle Absolute Oil has a warm floral aroma with honeyed facets, tea-like notes and a soft earthy depth. The scent develops slowly and sits low in blends, where it is used mainly as a base note or grounding modifier rather than a bright or diffusive material.

Typical Uses of Imortelle Absolute Oil
Imortelle Absolute Oil is used mainly as a professional perfumery and formulation material. It is not a general-purpose aromatic oil.
Common uses include:
Perfumery and fine fragrance compositions as a base note or grounding modifier
Cosmetic scenting in creams, oils, balms and solid perfumes
Aromatic blending where depth, warmth and botanical richness are required
Craft and artisan products such as candles and soaps at very low concentrations
This material is normally used as a supporting or base note rather than a dominant aroma.
Handling and Working Dilution
Imortelle Absolute Oil can be naturally viscous, and aroma clarity improves significantly once diluted.
If helpful, gently warming the closed bottle in the hands can assist with measuring.
Preparing a 1% working dilution in perfumer’s alcohol or a suitable carrier oil is recommended for accurate dosing during formulation.
