Absolute oils are the essential oils which are highly concentrated and have high potency. These Concentrated absolute oils have high aromatic properties thus they are majorly preferred in cosmetics, perfumery, and aromatherapy. During the postproduction processes these oils are further concentrated to make their absolute.
Vachellia farnesiana is a medium-sized shrub up to 7 m high, much branched and very spiny and grows to about 3m high and 2m diameters and is thought to live for 10-50 years. The older bark is dark brown and smooth. Plants have a deep taproot and symbiotic nitrogen fixing bacteria live in a mutuality association on its roots. Vachellia farnesiana is evergreen and the leaves are alternate, bipinnately compound with two to six pairs of pinnae, each with 10 to 25 pairs of narrow leaflets 3 to 5 mm in length. The small twigs are dark brown with light-colored dots and paired spines 3 to 20 mm in length at the nodes.
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-bromophenlyhydrazone, a constituent that appears to be very important for the aroma of Cassie (there are, however, no current references for this ketone). It is important to note that ?- 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. Like all absolutes, Cassie is chemically very complex and finds applications in Violet, Rose and Jasmine accords. 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.
