lavender absolute replacer

Lavender absolute replacer is a synthetic or blended fragrance compound designed to mimic the olfactory properties of natural lavender absolutes derived from Lavandula species. This material typically appears as a viscous, fragrant substance characterized by fresh, floral, and herbal aromatic notes with a subtly sweet and slightly fruity character. Known under several synonyms, including lavandula angustifolia absolute replacer, lavandula officinalis absolute replacer, and lavandula spica absolute replacer, it is employed as an alternative to the natural extracts in fragrance applications. The compound is related to other lavender oils listed in PubChem. Sourcing generally involves chemical synthesis or reconstitution of natural components to achieve a profile close to authentic lavender absolute.

Although lavender absolute replacer is not naturally occurring, it replicates the scent profile typical of Lavender species like Lavandula angustifolia and Lavandula officinalis. Its primary application is as a fragrance agent in perfumery and fine fragrance formulations, often incorporated into aromatic, fougere, and floral accords to impart fresh, sweet, and herbaceous characteristics. Its use is governed by the IFRA (Global) Code of Practice, which recommends it exclusively for fragrance use and prohibits its application in flavorings. The compound serves as a consistent and cost-effective substitute for natural lavender absolutes, offering formulation flexibility without the variability of natural extracts.

The component shows solubility in alcohols but is insoluble in water, a factor that influences its behavior in various fragrance formulations. This alcohol solubility enables its use in ethanol-based perfumes and other alcohol-containing personal care products, ensuring efficient dispersion of the aroma. Its viscous nature and aromatic profile contribute to the stability and longevity of the scent in finished products. The chemical characteristics of lavender absolute replacer support its integration in complex fragrance blends, providing a reliable floral-herbal note without the limitations related to natural lavender oil volatility or source variability.
