Hay Absolute

Hay absolute, derived from the botanical species *Hierochloe odorata* also known as sweet grass, is a highly concentrated aromatic extract typically obtained through solvent extraction from the dried plants. The scent profile of hay absolute is rich, deep, and nuanced, evoking the essence of fresh, sweet grass and the comforting, earthy aroma of a sun-warmed field. Its primary notes are often described as sweet and coumarin-like, mingled with hints of warm, dried herbs and a touch of tobacco. This makes it a popular choice in perfumery for adding a natural, pastoral quality to fragrances, particularly those that aim to capture an outdoorsy, autumnal theme. Hay absolute blends well with woody, spicy, and floral notes, making it versatile for use in creating complex, grounding, and cozy scent compositions.
