A pure expression of our commitment to natural ingredients, traditional craftsmanship, and principled practices, the Absolute Collection brings a new level of artistry to home fragrance and luxury candles.

LAVENDER FLOWER - is harvested from lavender fields in the picturesque countryside of Provence, France. Coveted for its smooth and luscious scent, it has a deep floral honeyed sweetness with crisp herbal notes that are a hallmark of natural perfumery.

FOREST OAKMOSS - is derived from the rich bark of oak trees found deep within the Balkan forests. Echoes of the damp forest floor are reflected in the earthy, mossy, woody notes.

ORANGE BLOSSOM - is extracted from the fresh, delicate blooms of the bitter orange trees in Morocco. To capture the true essence of these sweet white flowers, our orange blossoms are picked at sunrise when the scent is most concentrated. The exotic, slightly bitter-green seductive floral notes make orange blossom absolute stunningly distinctive.

BALSAM BLACK PEPPER - is extracted from the needles and branches of majestic wild conifers found in the hills of eastern Canada. Reflecting the aromatic complexity of newly harvested evergreen trees, this exquisite ingredient blends sweet, rich and warm notes with a juicy, fresh bouquet. 

CLARY SAGE - is extracted from sage flowers grown in the legendary region of Provence, France. Harvested during flowering in August, this powerful aromatic is utterly distinctive: both sweet and bitter, laced with unique tobacco notes not found in any other perfume oil.  

LABDANUM - is a rich brown resin harvested from the rockrose shrub. Described as “the sweetest-scented of all substances” by early perfumers, its connection to perfumery dates to ancient Egypt when it was used in ceremonial incense. Widely used today to create the scent of amber, labdanum’s highly complex fragrance profile features notes of oak, sycamore, leather, moss, and fossilized amber. 

ROSE DE MAI - comes from the beautiful pink petals of Rosa x centifolia, famously known as the “hundred-petaled rose.” Originating in sixteenth-century France from a hybrid of several botanical roses, these precious flowers are grown in the iconic Grasse region of France. The epitome of dewy freshness, this legendary absolute is prized for its full, deep, round scent that preserves the aroma of the original plant.
