TOBACCO ABSOLUTE

Our organically crafted Tobacco Absolute, also sometimes referred to as the Tobacco Essential Oil, is extracted from the dried leaves of the Nicotiana tabacum shrub, cultivated specifically for this purpose in Bulgaria. Deep brown in colour with a rich, somewhat smoky-warm herbaceous aroma reminiscent of fine pipe tobacco, Tobacco Absolute is often employed as a base note in perfumery, adding its touch in 'dry' or 'masculine' scented perfumes.

Tobacco has a history that goes back thousands of years in the cultures of the Native peoples of the Americas - sometimes with other herbs (oils), for ritualistic purposes, healing and purification ceremonies. Tobacco Absolute Oil was introduced by Christopher Columbusu00a0on his first Voyage to the New World. The natives of Hispaniola called this plant Tobacco. It was discovered that after the herb dried it became a commercial interest that deleterious effects became widespread. Tobacco Absolute is a very tenacious, aromatic material that adds warmth, depth and character to natural perfumes, especially masculine and Oriental blends as well as high-end skin-care products.
