Floral extract
Tuberose CO₂ Extract
Rajnigandha, cut at night and in the vessel the same day. One of the few florals with no viable distilled route at all — which has left the whole market dependent on solvent extraction until now.
Specification
Tuberose CO₂ Extract at a glance
Tuberose keeps producing scent after it is cut, which is why it is picked in the evening and why the hours between field and vessel matter more here than on almost any other crop. We buy inside our own district partly for that reason.
The profile is carried by methyl benzoate and methyl anthranilate over a benzyl benzoate base — heavy, creamy, faintly green. It is a notoriously difficult material to work with and an expensive one, so buyers tend to want a sample before any conversation about price. That's fine; ask and we'll send one.
Because there is no distilled tuberose to compare against, the reference point in the market is the hexane absolute. The case for CO₂ here is a clean declaration on a material that goes into prestige fragrance at low inclusion but high scrutiny.
Marker figures are agreed against your requirement before we run, and every batch ships with its Certificate of Analysis.
