Olfactory description

 

Ethiopian coffee absolute is one of the most intense and recognizable raw materials in natural perfumery. Its aromatic profile reproduces with remarkable fidelity the aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans, providing a richness and depth difficult to find in other materials.

 

The opening reveals intense notes of dark coffee, roasted cocoa, and freshly ground beans. As it evolves, nuances of dark chocolate, soft tobacco, and slight balsamic facets emerge, adding complexity to the overall scent.

 

Unlike some overly roasted or burnt coffee extracts, this absolute retains a warm and rounded aromatic facet where gourmand, woody, and slightly spicy notes coexist.

 

Its aroma is particularly rich, deep, and enveloping, maintaining the characteristic identity of high-quality coffee for hours.
