Concrete

Concrete in perfumery refers to a specific fragrance material derived from the extraction of essential oils from flowers through solvent extraction methods. This process results in a fragrant, waxy substance that captures the full complexity of a flower's aroma, including its nuances and subtleties. Concretes are often used in high-end perfumes and help to create rich, luxurious scents. They serve as the foundation for more refined perfume formulations, contributing depth and character to various olfactory blends.
