xTobacco (Zarda) Absolute
Introduction
Tobacco (Zarda) Absolute is a highly aromatic, deeply smoky extract derived from the leaves of the Nicotiana tabacum plant, commonly known as tobacco. The extraction method used for this absolute involves solvent extraction, which results in a concentrated oil with a rich, warm, and earthy aroma. Tobacco Absolute is widely used in high-end perfumery to add depth and complexity, often used as a base note or fixative in fragrance blends. It has a distinctive sweet, smoky aroma reminiscent of a well-aged cigar or pipe tobacco, with a slightly leathery edge.
Though tobacco has a controversial reputation, its essence is highly prized in the fragrance industry for the unique warmth and masculinity it imparts to perfumes. It is also used in aromatherapy for its grounding and soothing effects.
