HAY Absolute:
Solvent extracted, from Spain.
My dad was born, at the turn of the last century, on a farm
in Economy Point, a little village in Nova Scotia. His father died before I was
born, and my Uncle Fred took over the farm. Several summers in my
childhood we drove from Boston to Economy, and spent a week visiting my Grannie, and Uncle Fred and Aunt Ella. It was an old fashioned farm.
A team of draft horses pulled the equipment, and the huge hay wagons at
harvest time. I remember the smell of that barn piled high with
the dried hay, and riding on the wagon oh so high off the ground.
When we sampled this lovely absolute, it brought back those memories.
This delightful absolute is produced in the Spanish
Mountains, from fields harvested in June, and let dry in the sun until
August. The long slow curing develops the sweet aroma of the coumarins.
In perfumery, Hay absolute is used in perfumes with notes of
fern or lavender. The presence of coumarin makes this absolute
an excellent fixative. Aromatically Hay Absolute has amber, coumarin,
tobacco, grassy, fresh green and balsamic notes. In texture it is a
thick, viscous liquid, but when warmed will dissolve in a carrier oil, as
well, of course, as in perfumers alcohol.
