Flouve is rarely found and according to Arctander “The odor is so rich and so complex that one can keep on finding notes in it.” This sweet herbaceous tobacco-like base note from Italy smells like the wet forest -- amazing tenacity.     $50.00   Add: Honeysuckle Absolute 1/6 oz. This is a pure and natural botanical I never thought I would be able to find and at last I found this rare beauty in Italy. Honeysuckle is an intensely sweet, rich floral – heavy and narcotic – practically a perfume by itself.     $55.00   Add: Jasmine Grandiflorum Absolute 1/6 oz. Without question, the most essential essence for the natural perfumer. This particular jasmine absolute is the most beautiful, by far, I have ever smelled.     $54.00   Add: Seaweed Absolute 1/6 oz. Our Seaweed absolute, from Italy, is penetrating and powerful. It is green and herbaceous, like the odor of seaweed drying on the beach after a storm. This base note is an accessory note and a little bit goes a very long way.     $60.00   Add: Tuberose Absolute 1/6 oz. This middle note has a clean and sweet floral aroma that is honey-like and ever so slightly earthy -- a very special and vibrant tuberose from Italy.     $75.00   Add: Rooibos Absolute 1/6 oz. A deep green liquid, this rooibos absolute is a sweet and fruity middle note with aromas of raisins, berries and vanilla.     $15.00   Add: Araucaria Absolute 1/4 oz. This rose-woody, spicy middle note from Spain has a crystallized consistency. Araucaria has good fixative properties and will not overwhelm perfumes with light floral middle notes.     $45.00   Add: Africa Stone Tincture in 190 proof undenatured alcohol 1/6 oz. The by-product of the symbiosis of the environment and the excreta of the Rock Hyrax, a small mammal from East Africa. Stone collecting hinders neither the animal life nor the habitat and is subjected to fair trade practices. The odor is a cross between civet and castoreum.     $12.50   Add: Aged Beeswax Absolute 1/6 oz. Rich and heavy like a dark honey, this top note adds depth and subtle sweetness to the astringency of many top notes.     $30.00   Add: Black Tea Absolute 1/6 oz. The aroma of a sweetened cup of exceptional black tea, this very compatible base note works beautifully with most other base notes. To render it workable, we have tinctured it slightly with 200 proof undenatured alcohol.     $30.00   Add: Clove Absolute 1/6 ounce This middle note is warm, round and richly spicy. Clove absolute adds a distinctive note to floral accords and blends beautifully with rose absolute.     $11.00   Add: Fresh Mint Absolute 1/6 oz. A surprisingly versatile peppermint middle note that provides a subtle lift to florals. Best used as an accessory note.     $30.00   Add: Turkish Rose Absolute 1/6 oz. Robust, rich, multi-layered and a brilliant orange color, this rose absolute is vibrant and absolutely gorgeous. Like jasmine, rose is the most essential essence for the natural perfumer.     $54.00   Add: Rosemary Absolute 1/4 oz. A dark-green paste originating from France, this rosemary absolute base note is slightly sweet, rich and warmly herbaceous with none of the camphorous notes of rosemary essential oil. To render it workable, we have tinctured it slightly with 200 proof undenatured alcohol.     $40.00   Add: Tarragon Absolute 1/6 oz. Tarragon Absolute is a full-bodied base note with a sweet and green candy-like aroma. It blends well with other green notes and earthy base notes. It is a particularly uplifting as a base note and provides a complication to purely herbal blends.     $35.00   Add:
