This grounding resinous base is beautifully uplifted by the fruity ester contrast of rich amounts of linalyl acetate, a fruity, elegant-smelling ester that imparts a bright, wine-like freshness to the top and heart of the fragrance. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/livinglibations.filecloudonline.com\/url\/certificatesofanalysisclarysageabsolute\" title=\"Certificates of Analysis\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0000ff;\"\u003eView or Download Certificate of Analysis \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0000ff;\"\u003eThis absolute is a verified, unadulterated botanical treasure, third-party tested to ensure 100% purity. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCLARY SAGE ABSOLUTE DIY PERFUMES\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0000ff;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Vintage Chypre-Fougère Perfume\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e5 drops Clary Sage Absolute \u003cbr\u003e2 drops Labdanum Absolute \u003cbr\u003e8 drops Lavender \u003cbr\u003e6 drops Bergamot \u003cbr\u003e2 drops Oakmoss \u003cbr\u003e3 drops Vetiver \u003cbr\u003eCombine the drops directly into 10ml of alcohol or Jojoba oil.

The essential oil is steam distilled, capturing the lighter, highly volatile, and more distinctly herbal-fruity components of the plant. It is excellent for skincare, aromatherapy, and moontime massage. The absolute is solvent extraction, a process that pulls out the heavier, denser, and non-distillable waxes, resins, and diterpene alcohols (like sclareol). This makes the absolute far richer, sweeter, and more ambery, transforming it into a tenacious perfume fixative designed specifically for scent creation, incense bases, and ambient diffusion rather than daily topical skincare. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0000ff;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy is your Clary Sage Absolute pre-diluted with 50% Organic Biodynamic Alcohol?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn its 100% pure form, a botanical absolute is a solid, sticky, green waxy paste that is notoriously difficult to measure, pour, or dissolve into other essential oils without heating.
