Mate Absolute 50% ETH (Italy) is a premium botanical perfumery material derived from Ilex paraguariensis, renowned for its distinctive green, earthy, and tobacco-like character. This version has been diluted to 50% in ethanol (ETH), making it easier to handle, dose, and incorporate into fragrance formulations while preserving the unique aromatic richness of the original absolute.
Its aroma is complex and highly natural, revealing layers of green tea, cured tobacco leaves, dried hay, earthy woods, and subtle smoky nuances. The material possesses a remarkable balance between freshness and warmth, creating a sophisticated profile that adds texture, realism, and depth to fragrance compositions.
Mate Absolute is highly valued in niche and artistic perfumery for its ability to create authentic tea accords, tobacco effects, and natural green dimensions. It blends exceptionally well with violet leaf, black tea, tobacco absolute, vetiver, cedarwood, patchouli, oakmoss, leather notes, spices, and soft musks.
Widely used in fougères, woody fragrances, leather compositions, green perfumes, and contemporary niche creations, Mate Absolute contributes a refined botanical character that is both distinctive and highly versatile.
