Decolorized Lavandin Absolute from Concrète

Various methods (charcoal treatment, chlorophyll precipitation etc.) can be used to decolorize the dark green Lavandin Absolute partially without seriously affecting the odor of the perfume material. Although it is not a very common item, Decolorized **Lavandin Absolute from Concrète **finds use in the cases where the intensely green color of the parent absolute would be a drawback (certain lavender-colognes, etc., which must not turn out in a green note). The decolorized material is an olive-brown to olive-yellow liquid, and its odor resembles that of the parent green absolute. The sweetness and rich body can be impaired by the decolorizing process, but when a skillful partial decolorization is carried out, the pale product should give about the same performance in a perfume as would the green absolute. With the tremendous developments in extraction processes for perfumery materials that have taken place during the past two decades, it is likely that **Decolorized Lavandin Absolute from**** ****Concrète **may become quite a common item on the perfumer's shelf. Its very attractive price and popular odor should make it a generally applicable perfume material.
