One of the most sublime of all perfume materials. Hay is, as literally as possible, the smell of liquid summer sunlight. Perfumers, knowing that this fragrance is not quite appealing on its own, suggest that Hay needs a ‘support group’ of mossy and green nuances to bring out its best features.

As the aroma begins to disperse into the environment from the perfumers strip, one realizes that absolute has fine diffusive power and tenacity with a uniform dryout from top-note to base-note.

Hay absolute  is diffusive, very tenacious, and makes an excellent addition to the perfumer's palette. Its sweet, suave, herbaceous / fruity undertone is wonderful for rounding off rough edges in transitions between different stages of the aromatic life of many compositions.

The classic use for Hay absolute is in new mown hay compostions but also finds use in amber bases, chypre, high class florals, forest notes, colognes, literary perfumes, tea notes and fougere.
