Flouve Oil

Flouve oil is a unique and aromatic fragrance note with a warm, hay-like scent profile that carries subtle green, herbal, and sweet undertones. Its aroma is rich, natural, and slightly earthy, adding a comforting and rustic quality to perfumes. Flouve oil imparts depth and a nuanced, grassy character and is often used as a middle or base note to create a warm and grounding composition. It pairs beautifully with floral, woody, and resinous notes, contributing to fragrances that are elegant, warm, and reminiscent of sunlit fields.

History & Production: Flouve oil is derived from the flouve plant, also known as sweet vernal grass (Anthoxanthum odoratum), which is found in temperate regions, including parts of Europe. The plant is known for its distinctive coumarin content, which gives it a sweet, hay-like aroma. The essential oil is obtained through steam distillation of the dried grass, capturing its warm, grassy scent. In modern perfumery, flouve oil is valued for its ability to add an earthy, hay-like depth that enhances the natural and complex qualities of fragrances, evoking feelings of warmth, comfort, and nostalgia.
