Indian Manufacturer Pure Cassie Flower Absolute (Acacia Farnesiana) Supplier

Cassie Flower Absolute (Acacia Farnesiana) 

Cassie Absolute is extracted from the blossoms of Acacia farnesiana, a small thorny tree native to warm temperate and semi-tropical areas of the world and cultivated in France, Egypt, the West Indies, India and South America. Ours has a rich, sweet, warm, green, honey-floral aroma with pronounced powdery and soft cinnamic-balsamic undertones. The drydown has a violet-like note due to the presence of the ketone p-bromophenlyhydrazone1, a constituent that appears to be very important for the aroma of Cassie2 (there are, however, no current references for this ketone). It is important to note that α- and ß-ionones, present in Cassie Absolute, are constituents that also have violet-like aromas.

In modern perfumery, Cassie Absolute is sometimes used to impart intensity; Une Fleur de Cassie composed by Dominique Ropion for Frédéric Malle is considered to be one of the best examples.5 Like all absolutes, Cassie is chemically very complex and finds applications in Violet, Rose and Jasmine accords.6 Not to be confused with Cassia (Cinnamomum cassia) or Cassis, a synonym for Black Currant Bud (Ribes nigrum), two completely different aromatic/botanical materials with different chemical constituents and olfactory properties.
